RE: [Fink-beginners] FinkCommander

[Kannan M. <ka...@ch...>]

I have checked to the extent possible.  Everything connected with proxy
seems to be working (accessing through internet, ftping through xterm,
etc.), yet FinkCommander cannot make the connection.  I have the following
questions:  (1) What protocol does FinkCommander use to get on to the web?
(2) In case I cannot make FinkCommander work, what other route is
available? - there is a better chance that a terminal based program will
work.
