Etisalat's proxies are not getting any faster. If you find your browser getting stuck at the automatic proxy, the usual get around for this is to use the manual proxy of proxy1.emirates.net.ae on port 8080. As an inside tip for those of you who take the time to read down to this fine print, other UAE proxies working today, all on port 8080, are here. The least busiest according to our records is 194.170.168.228. (1/Oct/00)

Experienced Chatters try this excellent Java Chat Interface.
