transio,
do you play online at Party Poker now? If so, then you all set. If not, yes you'll need to go to thier web site and download thier software. It's quick and free. I can play at work during my lunch-time, and my company locks-down our firewall pretty tight, so you shouldn't have any problems. You create an account, then they'll email you the final security step to complete the account setup! Once you get it working, let me know your account id and when you'll be online. They have a place under the Request tab, 'Find a player' where you can put in someone's id and if they are online, it will show you where (what game & table) they are at, then you can click to join them at the same table (if there is a seat available). I'll be online around 10:00pm, EST. My ID, simple: VXMAN
