I use the NAt facility in Injoy/eCSCoNet [ISDNPM] that comes with eCS 
1.1 - the attached machines are all in complete "stealth" mode - 
invisible to outsiders.

I wasn't sure whether you were!

Hi Charles,
As I was busy with editing the 594KB of textfiles in the latest DFSee, I 
wasn't able to respond sooner - I now have a considerable backlog of 
mail to work through.  As Jan commented I'm probably the first person to 
actually read and digest the entire documentation before ever using the 
program.

I too am not locked-in to either interface, I'm comfortable with both 
coming from a Fortran/Z80-80x86-assembler/ bit-shifting type background 
- I like messing around with the lowest level of software.  I use the 
strong points of both as appropriate.
