Hi,

I have Caldera OpenLinux 2.2 installed on an old 486DX100 and it works fine. Except...I need to have it use a socks proxy on another machine on the lan (a win98 pentium). How do I configure the Linux box to use the proxy. Here is info on the proxy:

VSOCKS Light is a basic SOCKS proxy server for Windows 95, 98 & NT 4.0.
The SOCKS protocol supports proxying of any TCP/IP protocol, such as HTTP, FTP, TELNET, etc, with client software which supports the SOCKS protocol. If your client software doesn't support the SOCKS protocol directly, other software is available to 'SOCKSify' it's TCP/IP commands to make it work through a SOCKS proxy like VSOCKS Light.

Can this be used by perl modules such as LWP and Apache modules such as mod_rewrite?

Thanks.
