Perhaps. If switching proxies is as slick in IE and Safari as it is in
Firefox, then this might be a solution.<br>

If the webvpn is unchanged from the last time I tried it (several
months ago), it is a non-starter. Poor rendering of most pages in
Firefox, and slow as molasses.<br>

In fact, this is the real question. Need to find out from Marsha
exactly what the pricing structure looks like.<br>

Subject: [comm] Revisions to Proxy page
I got fed up with the state of the GoldBook/Web documentation on the
proxy <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="http://www.nrao.edu/internal/web/proxy.shtml"><http://www.nrao.edu/internal/web/proxy.shtml></a> so I added
SwitchProxy to it. I haven't had time yet to document the more

The impetus for this was the issues with the Library needing "one IP
address" and the complaints about the proxy being hard to use. Well,
with Firefox/SwitchProxy, it ain't hard to use once it's set up (and
it's not hard to set up either). And I'd guesstimate[*] most of the
target audience for Library Services such as Marsha has mentioned will
have Firefox as their browser.

speaking. The target audience for those services is going to be

Firefox or Safari almost certainly; latter will use IE or maybe
Firefox.
