Quick Proxy Question

I’m at school trying to set up a linux box, but the firewall/proxy won’t let me have any connections on port 80. I can’t find a linux application that will let me authenticate myself to the server (It’s a Novell Bordermanager server… I think what I’d need is client trust).

Anyway, is there a way to set Firefox to use a different port?

3 workarounds that I’ve found are to VNC to my WIN XP computer and then get online from there

SSH to my server at home and use Links2 command line browser (ugh)

And use a proxy server that doesn’t use port 80 to connect… which is the most viable option at this point… only problem is that it’s really slow.

Changing firefox’s port would be a much better solution but I dont know how (about:config perhaps?)

If not, could someone tell me where I could find a faster proxy (one that’s not in Canada… which is the closest I could find)

Thanks =)
