Well, as far as I could find out, that's something completely different from what I need. transparent proxy support in the kernel is an option if you put up a proxy server using Linux. It doesn't help at all at the client side. Anyway, I couldn't find any documentation about using a proxy as a client within the docs coming with debian. Is using a proxy a thing that can only b done by the individual programs? It would be a great thing, not to have to configuring every single program you want to use. Does anybody know a source of information about *using* a proxy (besides all the help you find about *setting up* a proxy, which actually doesn't help a bit... :-( ) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Norbert "Nobbi" Nemec Paul-Gerhardt-Str. 4 90765 Fuerth Tel: 0911-761206 Fax: 0911-7658329 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
