Basically what they are suggesting, is, that everyone wanting to use B.O.I.N.C 
should give
each individual Client machine a direct Internet Access via Proxy.

Too bad they don't/did not realize that this is impossible for many Users :(
It also doesn't solve the Problem of each single machine having to make a such, 
direct
Internet Connection when its work is finished.

...just imagine all the Clients from fairly large Networks needing to go online 
via Proxy
individually, throughout day and night, without User presence, interaction or 
intervention
possible or available :p

Certainly not the way I could accept to see my Network operating... :(

I agree. 

I think my system, under the SETI Queue proxy, works in the way
FalconFly suggests. 

I had not realised the HTTP Proxy they commend wants an access to the
internet via a proxy for each individual PC. 

I assumed the proxy system dished out the cached units as these were
demanded. At the appropriate time, supervised or unsupervised, the
internet connection was made and WU results send/new ones downloaded.

FalconFly, have you confirmed that FreeProxy works the way you assume?
