Also NO COST it's based around Debian and will authenticate against Samba with no problems. The only bit we pay for is the Blacklist Update but at Ł100 a year that's a small price to pay.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If you'd like more info feel free to mail me off list.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Brian Chivers</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Portsmouth College</FONT></DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE style="PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 2px solid; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial">----- Original Message ----- </DIV> <DIV style="BACKGROUND: #e4e4e4; FONT: 10pt arial; font-color: black"><B>From:</B> <A title=jritchie@bible.edu href="mailto:jritchie@bible.edu">Ritchie, Josiah</A> </DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>To:</B> <A title=k12osn@redhat.com href="mailto:k12osn@redhat.com">Support list for opensource software in schools.</A> </DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Sent:</B> Wednesday, February 16, 2005 7:51 PM</DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> Re: [K12OSN] Proxy Help</DIV> <DIV><BR></DIV> <P><FONT size=2>Though expensive, the iPrism from St. Bernard is a nice solution.
