Comcast must have a number of open Socks
proxies. Some guys that use IRC to do live
commentary from figure skating competitions
are often bouncing off open proxies on the
Comcast network. A lot of these proxies,
especially the Socks ones, are apparently
using ports other then 23 or 1080, so they
are slipping under the radar for the time
being.
