Netscape will do almost everything that you want anyway; for news & mail you'll have it on the BSD box already, so no proxy is needed, and if you use the cern httpd, you won't need to socksify your web browsers. C-Kermit for OS/2 is socks-aware, I'd guess that the DOS version may well be too. > 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.

Allocating addresses isn't really all that difficult, and the performance difference will be pretty radical - bear in mind what Terry had to say about scheduling on the server. > Paul Richards, Bluebird Computer Systems.
