A Houston (TX, USA) public library? Could be next to impossible, as well as excellent cause for revocation of your library card and possible criminal prosecution if caught. Needless to say, I haven't tried. The best you could do from Houston libraries would be a proxy accessed via HTTPS. At one time you could telnet, but that has long since passed. Other public libraries? Who knows. -- Shawn K. Quinn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
