Very Computer

We are in need of a HTTP / FTP / NEWS proxy server to run on SCO
OpenServer 5.0 to service Unix, WIN95 and WFW clients. All systems
are connected directy via tcp/ip 10 megabit ethernet.  Any help or
information would be great.

Thanks,

Other third party & public domain servers are available as well, e.g.
the Spinner web server (http:///www.infovav.se/) has HTTP and FTP proxy
services.

Harvest cached can be configured as a proxy server.  The latest freeware
version is now named squid.  http://www.nlanr.net/Squid/

No, you are incorrect there. I have the harvest cache running on
http://cqit.qld.edu.au/ and it does a fine job. Straight out of the box.
That system is BSDI, but in the compile, there didn't seem to be
to many gotchas, other than needing lots of disk space :-)

Proxy and caching work fine. Very complex in some areas, but then, just start
with the cache only install. And... read the README files. MOST important.

ftp.demon.co.uk in /pub/unix/SCO/http*

Its set up ready to do an install via "custom".

It is a proxy, and server.
