Oh, I wouldn't bother with Wingate, although it is a decent enough
package for two computers.
If I do it I'll either use MS Proxy for NT Server (practicaly since I
would be doing hands-on stuff that might help me with the Proxy class

masquerading on a full-time Linux box, something I don't have right
now but need. Both would be useful experience.
