However, in order to keep costs down, I will only have one internet address allocated for the gateway machine (running FreeBSD). I intend to run all internet utilities by telnet prompt from machines in a Windows environment running Winsock or something similar. The internet provider will not provide any source routing on the network (for the price I can afford anyway), and so running any gateway software is out. Is there any proxy server packages which will allow me to do this? At all times the package needs to remain invisible to the internet provider, so I assume I use dumb internet addresses for the other machines. I have little experience in FreeBSD so any help would be greatly appreciated. Steve Bevan
