Can anyone recommend a good proxy server to allow Internet connection
sharing on a Windows based LAN.
Workstations are running WIN 95 / 98 SE / ME. Subsequently there may be some
old WIN3.11 PCs added to do dedicated tasks. Also one or more Linux boxes
"sometime".

The host has a nominally 128 kbps ADSl link and is running WIN 98 SE.

The Microsoft provided "Interconnection Sharing"  proxy server has had some
less than nice things said about it (which may not be exceptionally true).

There are a host of 3rd party proxy servers out there - many free. They also
mostly come with a revision history that suggests there may be more bugs to
come - except for those with no revision history at all that suggests they
may not be seriously developed :-) .

Can anyone recommend a simple, ideally free, stable & effective proxy server
for this purpose.
Needs to be able to run on the WIN98SE host.
Something with extra features is not really required although if your
favourite stable free solution has lots of extra bells and whistles then pse
comment on them.
