Here's my problem.
I'm running a Netware 4.1 LAN with Mercury as the SMTP/POP3 Server
running on a Netware server.  I connect the lan to the internet via a
linux box and modem.  I've only had the local ip of ppp0 routed (all
the IPs of the internal LAN aren't routed from the outside).
I believe I can use SOCKS to allow me to POP mail from my NW box, thru
the Linux box to my home PC.  I'll plead newbie when it comes to
SOCKS.  It doesn't really want to work.  The linux box is dual-homed
(ppp0 & eth0).
Any explanations and conf files would be appreciated.  I've already
read www.socks.nec.com.

Please post AND email me at cvxmck@mailbox.uq.edu.au.

Thanks.
