Re: TI-H: linux...
Ok. You dial in. beep beep whiz whiz. you are connecting. you send your l/p
to the auth server. the auth server sends back your IP and your default
gateway. your computer now knows that whatever it wants to send out, it
sends to the default gateway. the default gateway is the first router in
your ISP's internal network. routers don't connect to proxies, they connect
to other routers. so, say your default gateway is router1.someisp.com. your
packet might then go to router2.someisp.com and then router2384.alter.net,
and by that time it's out on the net. where's there room for a proxy, eh?
