Subject: [OS2Wireless] Limiting bandwidth sharing using Squid

I thought it might be of interest to thos on the list to post this link 
to an insightful article. I've used Squid proxy (locally) for some time, 
mainly for more efficient web caching as compared to Mozilla. However, 
with a minor tweak to the configuration file, and the ability to point 
other boxes to the proxy server (which is what proxies are really 
supposed to do, anyway), it is possible to throttle bandwidth for other 
network-attached machines. Check out 
http://wireless.gumph.org/content/3/12/021-limited-bandwidth-sharing.html.

Nice that Squid runs on OS/2, also, so everyone with a Warp or eCS-only 
network can get the same functionality as that described in the article. 
There's also some other good info on that site, so you might want to 
poke around it for a bit.

Happy Halloween, everyone!
