Eric J. Schwertfeger stands accused of saying:

And as I've said before, Sorry, I don't have the source to Win95, so I can't do that. I agree that masquerading isn't a fix-all, or even the prefered method of handling this, but until Socks5 is to the point that it can "socksify" programs that I don't have source for, without interferring with regular operations, and do this under OS/2, Windows 3.X, NT, and Win95, then my choice is to run linux on our firewall and use masquerading, or to spend a few weeks of time that I haven't got figuring out how to proxy a bunch of non-standard services for apps that I haven't got source for.

Netscape supports SOCKS on all platforms. For OS/2, WebEx, Kermit (I believe telnet, but nobody in their right mind uses it) and Gopher grok SOCKS at least.

I think this covers about 99% of your firewalled-client requirements.

Allowing firewalled systems access to the outer network is Bad Practise.

If you're adamant about packet rewriting (fool), then I believe that ipfilt (Darren Reed?) offers this functionality in it's NPT module.

Hit the lists archive if you're really desperate, or get with the Program.
