It's not just the Macs, it's anything other than MS Windows! I have a
Linux (Redhat) server that doesn't go through either, nor does the SGI
box we have, or the Solaris workstation (although I haven't REALLY fussed
with these to get them to work, apart from setting all the proxy
configurations I don't know what else to do. It's odd because they can
surf, HTTP, but no FTP. Then again I am told that MS Proxy is only an
HTTP (and SOCKS?) proxy, everything through port 80).
