This is what you get if you interpret the above as a URL...which makes sense since that was how it was posted. What it really is is the host name and port name to configure your Web browser so that all your HTTP traffic is funnelled through CERN first, and then relayed from there to the destination. I don't know how Mosaic supports this, but under Netscape for Windows, it is under Options | Preferences | Mail and Proxies | HTTP Proxy. While this doesn't provide complete anonymity, it does prevent your email address, site name, etc. from appearing in the log files of the HTTP server you are connecting to. I'm not sure why CERN has this running, but it is pretty usefull nonetheless. == Johnathan Corgan "Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent." jcorgan@aeinet.com -Isaac Asimov -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 iQCVAwUBLywpCk1Diok8GKihAQHH+AQA4EG9IPrwZ76iLggvbyjaBRLiDETzTjyz ljz87cOeAZ/sXevexPRD3RDzkSzOGRfbsFHEEV6gNI1q+35saJYCCVMdxCZUggeO xIIkCg+lTC6vMjj4JLQ5nLH2yZX2na3DjeR5/vidaSw2oEEUM0n06e6XnXS19mZ9 /ggmzfYtt1U= =hxmC -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
