The proxy/relay server we use can be downloaded from my webserver: http://pe1chl.nl.eu.org/Softw/elproxy.tar.gz It runs on Linux, and probably on BSD as well after some changing of sockopt names. We have been using it for a couple of years. There is one small race condition that I still haven't been able to locate, I plan to try to convert it from the use of select() to using poll() and hopefully get rid of that. But still it runs for months on end, sometimes losing one or two proxies that get stuck in the logon phase. It requires a system with a number of IP addresses that are routable to internet. They can be AMPRnet or other public space. Rob
