Yes, thought currently only with AmiTCP.

Firstly, for general advice, have a look at http://www.blksheep.demon.co.uk
This explains how to configure a loopback interface to allow a machine
running amitcp to act as a gateway.

To get various services through this gateway, you have two choices.

You can either run a proxy/socklink/hijack for each specific service,
this is fine if you just wish to use the pc for web/irc[no dcc].

If you wish to get a bit more sophisticated, have a look at the
socks server on aminet, you'll have to get some kind of stack on the
PC which can support the relevant socks version, but it should be possible.

Cheers,

Doug.
