Ok. Well, there are 2 ways you could implement this. 1. Configure natd on your system. Then just point your Outlook 2000 to your ISPs SMTP, POP3, IMAP, etc.. servers. 2. a. Use fetchmail to download mail from your ISP to the FreeBSD box. b. Use the FreeBSD box as your SMTP server. If you are going to do this, you'll need to tweek the sendmail configuration a little bit so that your mail isn't rejected by the recipients mail server. Take a look at http://www.sendmail.org/m4/masquerading.html As for newsgroups, ether setup natd, or read them from the BSD box. I never heard of a nntp proxy (although I wouldn't doubt one exists).
