Hello Joseph, that's a function of why the list exists, as well as it primary
purpose, answering questions.

A good number of SKS keyservers also listen and operate on port 80, the standard
HTTP port and should be able to negotiate a firewall. Here's a sample:

    http://pgpkeys.pca.dfn.de
    http://ice.mudshark.org
    http://keyserver.pramberger.at
    http://pgp.srv.ualberta.ca
    http://pgp.surfnet.nl

Peter Pramberger has a more complete listing at
http://www.pramberger.at/peter/services/keyserver/network/
Just look for the ball and (80) after the version column.

If you still have trouble reaching a keyserver, you can still communicate with
the keyservers via email (see the EKP column) Just send a message with the
subject HELP to the address that displays when your mouse hovers over the ball
in the EKP column. I need to update my server's address, until then, clicking
this link should open a blank email,
mailto:pgp-public-keys at gingerbear.net?subject=HELP
Just click send and the EKP server will return an email with instructions.

*HELP NEEDED*: there is currently help available in English (EN) and German (DE)
- if anyone is willing to translate the one page file into another language,
email me off-list. Thank you.
