 Doubtful.  port 80 would require crossfire to run under root (or similar)
priveledges (getting a port below 1000 requires that).  I certainly wouldn't
trust crossfire under those circumstances.

 Socks or some other form of support should probably be added to the client
simply to help out those people behind firewalls.  There are probably still
some people in which this won't help out (firewall won't even let that
through), but might help out some.
