I was playing around and did SMP on one of our Proliant 3000's. I was using FreeBSD 3.2 or 3.3, I can't remember exactly. I don't think I encountered much trouble getting it to work. I'm not still doing SMP because I had to borrow the proc from another 3000 just to play with it. :-) > Second issue.

Any and all help is greatly > appreciated. fetch(1) (or anything using libfetch, actually) understands how to use HTTP proxies. If your proxy server is at port 8080 on proxy.compaq.com, just set the HTTP_PROXY environment variable to proxy.compaq.com:8080.
