Maccasoft has updated
Internet Gate from
1.35 to 1.40. IGate is a Dial-On-Demand Proxy server for OS/2 (and that other operating
system from Redmond) that allows multiple computers on a network to share a single
Internet connection. The unregistered version only allows one computer to connect
through a server; the registered version will allow multiple connections. For more
information, visit their web page at:
In this site you can download the new version: igos2140.zip (148,49k).
Internet Gate for OS/2 - Version 1.40 Is a multiple proxy gate and firewall.
It can allow users on a Local Area Network (LAN) without Internet access to access
the Internet through a single machine on the LAN connected to the Internet, either
via a dial-up modem / ISDN connection or another ethernet card.
Internet Gate share a single internet connection with your entire network. Allow
access to the internet by multiple users without requiring a
separate modem and internet account Automatically connect and disconnect from
the internet when needed. Internet Gate allow multiple users simultaneous access
to the Internet with only one connection of nearly any type (modem, ISDN, leased
line, cable modem, etc.). Internet Gate runs on a single OS/2 Warp, Windows 95
or NT computer which does not have to be "dedicated" to the task. Internet
Gate can share a single Internet connection with nearly any type of client computer
running TCP/IP - and shares access with such popular applications as Netscape Navigator,
MS Internet Explorer, Eudora, Netscape Mail, popular telnet and FTP programs, and
many, many more.
Internet Gate is the perfect solution for anyone seeking to share Internet access
with ther machines in nearly any environment, from a small home office sharing
a single modem to a
large and complex network sharing an ISDN or leased line. Internet Gate even acts
as firewall, controlling access both to and from your internal network.
Using the dialer under OS/2
We have received reports about the dialer not being working properly under OS/2.
Since in all our test machines the dialer works fine we have decided to include
our PPP.EXE, SLIP.EXE and SLATTACH.EXE files in the distribution package. These
files will be installed in the same directory where Internet Gate will be installed,
and will be used by Internet Gate instead of the
one you have installed with the operating system.
The installation program doesn't alter your system files, nor
these files are intended to be an update to the files distributed by IBM itself. copying these files over
the existings may produce unpredictable results and is at your own risk only.
This is merely an attempt to work around some reported problems, if the dialer
still doesn't work, please contact us at support@maccasoft.com.
Changes made in version 1.40
* New user interface. Internet Gate has a new user interface more attractive
and intuitive than the previous, with large toolbar buttons and menu bar.
* The help file was almost completely rewritten to be more clear on some clumsy
configuration points. Hopfully this new help file makes the installation and configuration
of Internet Gate more easy. Added a troubleshooting section.
* Added support for the 'Pragma: no-cache' parameter that tells the proxy to ignore
the cached files and reload the resource from the remote server. Now when you hit
the 'Reload' button on your web browser the page is effectively reloaded from the
remote server and the proxy cache
is updated.
* The SOCKS server now fully supports SOCKS5, including UDP-ASSOCIATE requests.
Now programs like ICQ can work with Internet Gate.
* Added support for non-proxy requests to the HTTP and POP3 servers. When a non-proxy
request is made to these servers, the connection will be routed to a configurable
local server for handling. With this addition you can have Internet Gate working
with your intranet's WEB and MAIL servers on the same machine.
* Increased the buffer size for HTTP requests. This should avoid program crashes
with extremely long url requests.
* Added support for the ftp: protocol to the HTTP proxy server. Now you can do
ftp transfers from your web browser without need to configure the SOCKS server.
* Added support for UDP Mapped Links.
