Re: Connect via PC

In general, i have been very pleased with WinProxy, it does allow up to
Telent from the Internet  to our internal net just fine and also allows
connections to Web servers behind the proxy server, it sems that it is just
FTP it has a problem with.  We are also messin' around with PPTP support to
provide some "secure" access to our internal network  via a VPN.

|I'm not sure if this will fill the bill, but here we loaded up Netscape
Fasttrack

upload

We

the
