CentralNic have actually been working with this system for around 12 months now, and it's pretty cool. It works with a lot more browsers than the VGRS one, and requires no client or server-side plugins or patches :) It's really rather good at providing a seamless end-to-end IDN solution for web browsers; granted there are problems with Squid and such, but any IDN solution will have problems with things which filter. Personally I think it's a good transition for IDNs - but then again I've said that before ;) BR j -- Joel Rowbottom, http://www.centralnic.com - CTO and self-confessed Unix geek <t> +44 (0)20 7751 9000 <f> +44 (0)20 7736 9253 <e> joel@centralnic.com # Note: Contents may not necessarily represent the opinions of CentralNic.
