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 likewingate.net NEVOD -nat Features Multiple PPTP Client and Server Support for your Virtual Private Network (VPN). Supports DirecPC for Windows NT version 1.6 Supports a wide and continually growing number of applications such as Web, E-mail, AOL, Compuserve, Quake, Telnet, FTP, Gopher, Ping, Traceroute, WAIS, Finger, IRC, ICQ, PPTP, Citrix Winframe, ssh ,(multiple) news hosts, Vocaltec Internet Phone, PeopleLink, Netscape AOL Instant Messenger, BuyDirect.com... ***Transparently supports FTP, RealAudio, VDO and Xing clients (UDP and TCP). Connect up to 1000 workstations (50,000 simultaneous connections) to the Internet using a single IP address. Turnkey installation and configuration. Simple 5 minute installation using the NT Control Panel utility. No proxy client setup. ***ALL Client software runs "as-is".

Transparent to Netware, Netbui and other existing networks. ***NOT a Proxy, so no limitations on connections or ports like other packages. No need for SOCKS setup for each individual application. ***Loaded as a Kernel Driver, not an application so outperforms application based software. Full ethernet speed thruput or better depending on host machine configuration and interface. ***Outperforms proxy implementations. Capable of supporting 50,000 simultaneous TCP/IP connections or 1000 nodes on a 16Mb machine.
