ok, I think I figured it out

I am at a bank behind a firewall, and, my previous crash seemed to indicate that something went wrong in ports.lisp (networking??).

So I did a quick look see for the word proxy in asdf-install, and lo-and-behold, I found in defpackage.lisp an area where I could possibly

configure proxy info…

Now, my proxy information is as follows:

Hostname is
something.secret.rbc.com

Port is
8080

Username
someusername

Password
supersecret

The proxy is an http proxy - how would you configure the parameters below,
so that it will take these parameters above to configure the defpackage.lisp
below.

It's an http proxy, and I don't notice anywhere the ability to set up the port value..

Any ideas?
