Hello All,

I have a quick question regarding Internet Explorer.  I have read on some
web pages that FreeBSD can do Solaris emulation.  This didn't seem right to
me (I thought it was just SCO,Linux,BSDi) but I thought I should ask anyway.

The reason I am asking is that I am stuck behind a MS Proxy Server that has
Windows NT Authentication enabled.  This is an Evil Thing because it is a
closed Microsoft protocol that only works with Internet Explorer.  I have
already talked to the SysAdmins involved with the proxy servers, but since
it is a military controlled machine, it has to have a very certain
configuration (i.e., NTAuth).

There are binaries of IE5 for HP-UX and Solaris, but as I mentioned before,
I didn't think that FreeBSD can run these.  Am I wrong in this assumption?
If so, has anyone had any luck running IE5?

If I cannot run these binaries, does anyone know of a workaround to this
bastard Proxy Server Protocol?

Your time is appreciated....

Neill
