Telnet & FTP will work the same as they do under Windows, and if you have mappings set up for your mail server, that should work OK, also. But in the long run, you would be much, much better off switching your connection to a FreeBSD machine. All the little problems that you have connecting through Wingate (or any other proxy for that matter) will practically disappear. -- Regards, Denny Reiter denny@kewanee.net ------------------ FreeBSD: www.freebsd.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
