An older version of Privoxy (3.0.0) was already on this machine, came
with RH 8.0.  I just had to make sure it was running and then set up the
proxies in the browsers and, sure enough, it *does* work.  The browsers
I have also have a place to put in URL's that don't use the proxy, so
those pages that you WANT to see the ads still come through as intended.

Thanks!
