Wrong! Wrong! Wrong! This is the sort of missinformation that gets people
into deep shit and they wonder why they screw things up!
the default port that the reflector uses is 4074 but speak_freely uses
port 2074 by default.

That's just the same as linux just append the colen with 4074 at the end
of the address like this.
lwl.braille.uwo.ca:4074
igor for christ's sakes get it right before you go aering you're supposed
knowledge.
also speak_freely uses udp data packets so what you need to do if you're
behind a firewall is enable udp data packets to be allowed to travel
backwards and forwards on ports 2074-2076, and ports 4074-4076.
