Proxy Server of the Internet Provider
KEN! – 4 Overview of KEN! 73
In KEN! you can define whether to use channel bundling nev-
er, always, or depending on the capacity of your connection.
Please note that Internet connections with two B channels
mean that no B channel is available for “CAPI Services.” A
KEN! Client surfing the Internet using channel bundling
would block the KEN! Service PC for all other KEN! Clients
wishing to send a fax or transfer a file.
Note also that using both B channels doubles connection
charges, as charges accrue for each channel separately.
Proxy Server of the Internet Provider
A number of Internet providers offer the use of proxy servers.
Working with a proxy server speeds up access to Internet
sites. In most cases the use of an Internet provider's proxy
server is optional. Usually you do not need to use the proxy
server to dial into your provider. In some cases the Internet
requires that the proxy server be used.

Access to Newsgroups: News Gateway
KEN! contains an NNTP gateway which supports access to
discussion forums in the Internet. NNTP is the Network News
Transfer Protocol used for the transmission of news articles.
Every workstation in the local network thus has secure, un-
complicated access to newsgroups in the Internet.
To participate in newsgroups, activate the “Use news server”
option on the KEN! “Services of the Internet Provider” set-
tings page in KEN! and enter the name of the news server
you received from the Internet provider. Then the IP address
of the KEN! Service PC must be entered as the newsgroup
server of the E-mail application or news reader.
