This was proposal no 1. I wasn't sure how many socks-aware winsock
clients there are though. I've been told that Netscape is. In fact, what
I'll probably do is use Novix on the Netware side so that I don't have to
worry about allocating ip addresses to each workstation. Novix
seems to do teh tunneling job pretty well, it's just the asynchronous
NLM which really sucks.
