This lesser server wants home pages and WFS pages to be seen by all and sundry, as well as being able to allow its users (6) to 'get out there 'n surf'. I want someone to confirm that this is a good way to go, and to point us at a site we can get our SOCKS from. I understand that applications running on the local net have to be SOCKS-compliant. We are using Netscape, WSFTP and Trumpet. Looking forward to hearing from you. Don
