Alright. I've already looked into WinGate, and it seems to be a fairly
decent program. The pricing scheme isn't too bad either.

I've been thinking of that, but it isn't too practical with the number of
computers I have running here. I'm running NT WS, Nt Server and Win95. I
wouldn't mind ditching NT server, but I'm planning on starting a self-paced
MCSE course shortly so I'll need all three operating systems.

Great, I've been a lurker here for several years, though I don't have much to
contribute. If I were to use WinGate, would I even be using NT RAS? Or does
WinGate have facilities to handle this? I'm also running Netscape SuiteSpot
Proxy and Fastrak, would these affect anything? Does the remote computer
access the web through port 80, like normal, or 8080 for the proxy server.
Any help you can give me is much appreciated.
Thanks.
Nicholas
