The proxy is at proxy1.byu.edu (128.187.99.204). Most applications will read proxy
information from the 'http_proxy' environment variable. To set that, at the bash
prompt type 'export http_proxy=http://proxy1.byu.edu:8000/'. You can add that line
to your .bashrc or the system wide /etc/bash.bashrc to have it set every time.
