There are two problems:
1. "Transparent" proxy using WSP clients.
2. Authorization of web access.
Which one is yours? I was thinking the first one. The link above
solves only the second one.

Now I am lost. Who is being charged for what? Students for web
access? Students don't get internet for free?

Are they paying whole school? Only IT stuff? Just give software
licenses? Or is it just that IT staff is MS-happy/Linux-unfriendly?
If they are just providing licenses for zero/low price, then they
aren't going to be important.
If they are all-from-MS, then ask them if they could kindly provide
Microsoft Linux distro. :-) It's possible, it's legal, it's going to
be popular, then why not?
