Do you think using another web proxy, which supports outgoing presistent connections, between WWWOFFLE and the Internet would help be and make browsing faster? I think it would do. If you know of any other good web proxy that supports presistent connections, preferably packaged in Debian, please tell me. I even thought of trying to find or write some software that would consitst of two counterparts - one on my side of the long-RTT link, and another on some server on the Internet, and the communications between them would be done with some other protocol, maybe UDP based, that would make interactive browsing much faster. And taking care of dropped packets in some other way. Maybe some knows of any such software? It would be strange it was me who would first think of this idea. -- Miernik http://miernik.name/
