Question : Problem: Winsock Proxy Client for MAC OS

I am trying to find out if there is a Winsock Proxy Client for MAC. I have a customer that is running Microsoft Proxy 2.0 and they need to install a Proxy Client on there MACS to make our apllication work. Is there such a thing?

In answer to "Is there is a Winsock Proxy Client for MAC?"

No.   The Macintosh Open Transport stack is structured completely different from the Windows stack (no winsock!).

However, on the bright side, MS Proxy Server 2 has SOCKS support.   Therefore you can look for Mac TCP/IP applications that support SOCKS.   See the following for more info:

If you are just trying to check your POP email from behind the proxy server, one workaround is to use a web-based service such as Hotmail to check that account.
