Are there any Ports available? I didn't use it, but Freestone is available also. It has a BSDI version that may work. But, as I said, I did not compile it. I went with the CERN http server. It offered all I needed. But it does not have a telnet proxy. I didn't need one though. I use the inherent firewall of the fact that the box does not route as a firewall, rather than any thing fancy. It does proxy http, ftp, gopher, and wais. Works fine for me. If you find a working full featured proxy/firewall (meaning including telnet) let me know. -Jeff
