All,

What browser do you use behind this? Is it as effective as Opera with the images turned off - I have personally found this to be a pain sometimes. For example using Freeserve mail you loose all the details for deletion, moving folders, etc. Is it more effective on a proxy or on the box doing the browsing? 

Using Opera 5.12 BTW except when in Freeserve when I am using the devil's software.

Matt
