Re: isi and proxy rewrite solution (Question prompted by this thr ead)

Hi Bruce

We have a computer that is solely used for testing from the outside.  We 
have an account with an ISP and use a dialup connection to try out 
database connections.  This is generally done by our Electronic 
Resources Librarian after he puts the link up on the web page.

Since most of our students use distance education, we find it very 
helpful to try out the links and also to test things that students tell 
us they are finding.

Cheers,

Doug
