The proxy servers I got mentioned/recommended were: squid http://www.nlanr.net/Squid harvest http://harvest.cs.colorado.edu/ cern http://www.w3.org I was however to impatient and installed the Netscape 1.12 proxy server for BSDI 2.0 (actually BSDI 1.* binaries). This installed without any hitch on my FreeBSD 2.1R server. I used Mosaic on a remote machine to set the proxy server up. This was installed on a 486DX25 "server" with no packet forwarding and 80 MB IDE HD and 80MB SCSI HD (Seagate ST296, really old). The "server" has no X installed. The netscape 1.12 proxy server can be downloaded from http://www.netscape.com You need to register first and then use the user id and password to download. This gives you 60 days to test it out. (And look for a free alternative.) The proxy server costs $995 I think. I then tried to use this proxy from Mosaic 2.6 on FreeBSD with no sucess even though the README for Mosaic says that it has proxy support. I guess it is just some configuration/setup issue. Perhaps finding a netscape that runs under FreeBSD 2.1R can solve this problem. Then I installed Netscape Atlas preview on a WinFWG machine with microsoft tcp/ip stack. In the Options menu I selected Network Preferences and manual Proxy Configuration to type in the host name and port number for my proxy server. After this netscape works fine. I don't need any name server on the internal network either. Jonas
