The solution I use at home, is to run Socks on my gateway machine and then setup everything to go through that. Since Netscape supports Socks, things work well at with 4 machines running FreeBSD/MS-Windows sharing one ppp session. The problem is that Socks5 is really nice except it is a very fast moving target so the version on ftp.nec.com keeps changing. Also things work and then things break between releases. I've submitted some bug fixes back to the author and it I hope the next release should work well again. Unfortunately due to licensing terms we can't save off a version else where on the net. Anyways it is something to checkout, http://www.socks5.nec.com, there are also "wedges" to socks'ify non socks stuff. Doug A.
