Micronica has proxy cache installed. The proxy is used to speed up data retrieval from the internet a LOT!. Users who have configured their computer to use our proxy will implicitly browse the information through the cache which has it's own high speed internet data link on our network. Also, recently requested data is first kept at proxy cache, thus shortening the waiting time for data and file transfer. The Proxy Cache facility can easily be turned on or off once it has been configured in your internet configuration at any time for purposes of diagnosing internet or proxy cache problems. Just tell your system to use the configured proxy details or not.

To make use of our proxy cache for FTP and WWW, your browser must be configured correctly. Setup details for both Netscape and Explorer internet browsers are as follows
