But apps have to be written to allow it usage. OS X has an option in the network preferences where you can manually specify proxy settings for HTTP, HTTPS, RTSP, FTP, SOCKS, and a couple of others -- in addition to support auto-config with a .PAC file. SSH can be proxied with a client side app called corkscrew and the ProxyCommand setting in an SSH config file. As for the rest, most IM apps I've used in desktop Linux have proxy settings but whether those features have made it over to the maemo ports is up to the package maintainer. But if you can SSH somewhere else, it's possible to forward ports forward and backwards across the tunnel so that may provide some other options as well. As for Skype on Linux, I can't remember if the mameo client is based on the 2.1 beta or the older 1.x branch -- I'm pretty sure it's not the 3.0 MID port. Either one ought to let you edit the shared.xml files to enter basic proxy settings. If you have to authenticate to your proxy server, see this thread for a suggestion that might help; http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-213688.html -Gary _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@xxxxxxxxx https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
