last week I asked :

> I'm just setting up a firewall-system and now I'm looking for some proxy's for this system.
> I'm searching for proxy' for telnet, ftp, fsp, mosaic ... (maybe more later ...)
>
> Can anyone give me a hint where I can found some proxy's ...

Answers were :

> From: sunman@criterion.com (Aditya Talwar)
>
> Public domain firewalls proxies can be setup using TIS/Socks toolkit
> lookin www.tis.com or ftp.tis.com for the package.

> most firewall toolkits come with the ftp, finger, telnet and rlogin
> stuff. Which one are you using?
> also mosaic and netscape current versions support proxy service now
> there is no need for a special compile

> From: Rik Harris <Rik.Harris@fulcrum.com.au>
>
> Grab the firewall toolkit (fwtk) from ftp.tis.com.

> From: pyb@silogic.fr (Pierre-Yves Bonnetain)

> I just had the same request, some time ago, but to the firewall list.
> The answers I got :
>
> 1- the TIS toolkit (ftp.tis.com)
> 2- SOCKS (ftp.soscorp.com/pub/sos)
>
> As a matter of fact, I will set up my proxies/firewalls with those two
> toolkits.
> Hope this helps,

> From: dhagberg@gds.com (D. J. Hagberg)
>
> CERN's httpd will act as a proxy for ftp, http, gopher, and possibly
> nntp. Grab the source for http and libwww from:
>
> ftp://ftp.w3.org/
>
> I would definitely suggest building from the source as their
> binaries are statically linked and take 3x more memory than
> necessary.
>
> My configuration file is set up so that the server runs
> at port 8080 and will _only_ act as a firewall, not as a
> generic web server. See the "Protect" section below.

> Good luck,

Final, I'll have a look to TIS, SOCKS & ftp.w3.org

later - when I have a little bit more time ... :-))
