>> but what kind of capability is provided by a proxy server, In this context a proxy server is software that runs on one PC and permits all of the users connected in a network to share a modem. The modem is connected to the PC that runs the proxy server software. >> but what kind of capability is provided by Webramp, or shotgun + router? WebRamp or Shotgun technology allows a user to connect two modems in parallel to one internet service provider and double the download speed. The Webramp device that Clarence Dodge is evaluating comes with two modems and a router. In this case instead of using proxy server software to enable all of the users on a network to share two modems a router is used to permit all of the users on a network to share two modems. The router is built into the Webramp device. For more information see the previous postings on this topic and especially the links in Posts 1497 and 1520.
