Both the normal proxy server at http.rahul.net and the ad-blocking proxy
server at noads.rahul.net will now allow NW56 users to connect after
authenticating themselves.  A section has been added to the
NW56-specific web page that documents this.  We also have a special
login name designated for this:

     username: a2iproxy
     password: a2iproxy

The password will occasionally be changed and will be announced in the
a2i.info newsgroup only (not in a2i.announce).  The use of the
proxy-specific username and password is recommended, as it avoids your
normal login name and password being sent with each URL that your web
browser requests from the proxy.
