            Thanks to Authoxy, I am finally able to process units for SETI from behind the company firewall. 

 I decided to use the command line client and wanted a way to check the progress of a workunit being processed, so I made this little Perl script which displays '% complete' and 'hours processing' other things could be added if you'd like.  
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

open (INPUT, "< (path to seti state.sah file goes here) ");
my @file = <INPUT>;
close(INPUT);
chomp(@file);
my %hash;

foreach $item(@file)
{
my @array = split("=", $item);
$hash{$array[0]} = $array[1];
}

$perc = sprintf("%.1f",$hash{prog}*100);
$time = sprintf("%.2f",$hash{cpu}/3600);
print "\nSETI CLI MONITOR\n----------\n$perc % processed\n
   $time hours processing\n\n";
  That last line is one long line, and make sure you insert the path to the state.sah file in line two of the script! 

 I saved this in my home directory as 'checkseti.pl' chmod'ed it to be  executable, and added an alias to it in my /etc/csh.login file so I can run it from anywhere on my system.  The output looks like this:  
45.7 % processed
6.26 hours processing
  I hope some of you find this useful.
