- With AMosaic, if you firewall is supposed to prompt you for username and password,
- then you should see the prompts... however, anytime you need to go out to the firewall
- again, AMosaic can't remember the firewall proxy username/password pair and you're
- basically stuck. I spoke to one of AMosaic's authors who says that it is a bug
- and that there is no work around. IBrowse cannot (yet) prompt for username and
- password, so currently, that's not a solution. That is, if user authentication is
- required by your firewall. If memory serves, to at least get AMosaic to get out
- to the firewall one time, I used:
- setenv HTTP_PROXY http://myfirewall.com/
- and I placed it in Amitcp's startnet file (not that that is such a great place
- for it, but it worked. I've used it for ALYNX which works well.

- Good Luck!
