NAT and proxy + features of ***NEVOD vs Proxy
Thanks Dirk for your reply. I am now pretty much in agreement that either a proxy or Nat would work fine for daytrading with no slowdown.
I'm kinda leaning toward NAT:
nevod.com - I like (maybe their nice web page is why) sygate.com
Proxy: winproxy.com - I like wingate.net
