How can I customize the rules on my firewall?

Every-time I use MSN Messenger with speech, it just blocks. It's nice that it is secure, but I want to be able to customize it!

MS Messenger requires a H323 Proxy to be enabled on your firewall/proxy setup, without this it will never work.
Whilst this has been raised previously i'm not sure if anybody has actually done this, hopefully someone will prove me wrong

did you ever find a solution to your problem with MSN. 5.5 worked over our internal network but not outside. 5.6 does not work at all

No, I never got it.

The problem with MSN is that it doesn't support NAT, (unles you buy an Exchange-server, I guess).
