I want to run BOINC from work to do my part for SETI!  but we use a
proxy server here and i'm afraid that the packets being sent and
recieved between seti and my PC will set off some flags with security
or something.  Does anyone know exactlt what sort of data is
transferred and how often?  will it just look like regular internet
traffic from my PC or will something look a bit sus?
cheers,

 
I've recently installed SETI on a few work computers.  The sysadmin 
overheard me talking about it and just asked how many WU's I'd got!

I really should have checked first though.  I read an article where 
someone got sacked for running SETI without permission so I forwarded 
that to my boss and the sysadmin with the heading "I'll clear my desk 
now".  That way they officially know what I'm doing but I just made a 
joke about it - it's a small relaxed company.
