	If I understood the Brandon correctly, he was trying to 
	connect some non-Unix boxes through (Win '95?) the gateway.
	In this case all you need is a WINSOCK.DLL that knows about your
	proxying service -- all Windows applications should go through
	WINSOCK to get to any internet service (any that don't will 
	by wildly incompatibly with lots of stuff).

	Does TIS FWTK include a WINSOCK binary (most Win'95 users don't
	have a compiler handy -- and vast differences exist between 
	compilers and development environments on DOS Windows in general;
	code is often less portably between Borland, MS C, and 
	Symantec/Zortech than it is between Solaris and Linux).

	I know that the trumpet WINSOCK can be configured to talk to 
	a SOCKS server.  I don't know about TIS.  Also I noticed that
	there is a checkbox in the Win '95 TCP/IP configuration dialogs
	about "Use Proxy" (or words to that effect).  I don't know what
	they mean by that -- (I've heard rumors that it might tie into
	some proprietary NT proxying service -- maybe in "BackOffice"
	-- but I'd sure like to know more).
