Not to belabor the point, but i found a couple of nice tables
comparing NAT and Proxy solutions to sharing a connection.
(Now granted, they're really kind of "selling" NAT, but still,
they make some good points.)

http://www.sygate.com/products.html
http://www.vicomsoft.com/solutions/proxytable.html

And to re-iterate, the big players in the NAT field are:

SyGate (Windows): http://www.sygate.com/
Vicom Internet Gateway (Mac): http://www.vicomsoft.com/
IPNetRouter (Mac): http://www.sustworks.com/
IP Masquerading (Linux): http://ipmasq.cjb.net/

And i recently found out about another contender, NAT1000.

But it appears that they just got bought by Microsoft, (so it may be
"rolled in" to a future version of Windows?), and they're no longer
selling the product: http://www.nevod.com/

And one of the big players in the proxy market (aside from M$) is
WinGate: http://www.wingate.com/

And in fact, lots of people _love_ WinGate.
