Questions: 

I have a network that is connected to an 'intranet'
via a Proxy Server (MS', Open Sesame, etc).

I want to TN3270 from our VMS box 'through' that
proxy server to an IBM host on the other side.

How can I set up UCX to automatically go through
the Proxy?

Or is there a better way?

1626.1Check Firewall DocumentationXDELTA::HOFFMANSteve, OpenVMS EngineeringMon Feb 24 1997 12:5411
   There are several different constructs that are all refered to as a
   `proxy', and this can get somewhat confusing...  Given the reference
   to TN3270, I'd assume that the target system was a firewall, and not
   a proxy -- if so, check the documentation associated with the firewall
   on properly configuring the firewall.  Normal IP routing should cause
   the application to reach the (protocol-specific default) port on the
   firewall.

   Few of these components in use here are specifically identified, and
   most appear well outside the realm of the OpenVMS wizard.
