I'm looking at normal sized clients: IE/firefox on a laptop/desktop.
Again over satellite or GPRS.

Do you mean the IBM software or to you mean "transcoding proxy" as a
generic term for Rabbit?

Rabbit doesn't quite do what I want, in particular it doesn't easily let
the user change back and forward to higher quality versions. I want
more control over this and am quite prepared to write something. I also
have other requirements and will probably need a proxy client on the
laptop end and also something else at the server end because I implement
a compressing tunnel using an advanced compression algorithm.

So I really just wondered how much of this functionality I could push
into Squid and how much needs to be on the external proxy...

If anyone knows of any other good opensource proxy applications
(commercial or otherwise) that I could use for this process then please
let me know
