Ah, excellent. Welcome to Mac GUI Vault. :-)

Incidentally, some of the criteria that the server was using to block 
users were:
a.) HTTP 1.0 connections
and
b.) HTTP Proxy connections

These are both methods which are rarely seen in use by the "average 
user," yet are commonly seen by users of automated programs.

Do you suspect if either of these two may have been the case for you?
