Socks 5 will allow for multiple people using it at once. I have 2 people on at the some time here at home, using socks5 over a cable modem (but there's not real difference between this and your PPP connection). ICQ, on the other hand, doesn't always cooperate. Methinks the mirabilis folks don't quite know how to make a socks5 client (ICQ sometimes works, but other times I can't chat or do file transfers with someone else behind a firewall, even if they've also got a properly set-up socks5 proxy). > and could I use MPPP for this and how do I use > MPPP? This goes together with "Hrm. I don't know anything about that." --Ludwig Pummer To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
