I need a good proxy server

you could do that through redirection to a web page that requires acknowledgement of a usage policy. That avoids a proxy server, but one would need to know html.

I am not a web developer, but here is a snippet of code to give you an idea maybe.

<html>
<head>
<title>Deferred Access Policy </title>
<meta name="author" content="XYZ systems">
<meta name="description" content="Deferred Access
Policy">
</head>
<body>

FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE POLICY WILL RESULT IN WEB
ACCESS BEING DENIED
 
i'm not sure the above script will do what i need.

When a user contects his computer to the network and opens IE/Firefox it will first open the USER AGREEMENT no mather what the homepage is set to. No other pages can be viewed or opened w/o first accepting the agreement. Having just HTML code will not accomplish this.

 
Set up a proxy, and require authentication. Make the ID/pword a dummy one.
But...configure the credentials popup to display the usage warning you want, as well as the id/pword information for the users.
 
I would setup squid and use redirect_program,
which would be script which performs whatever checks necessary and either redirects to agreement page or allows access.
