Hi,
Just to correct a couple of points;
The Vicomsoft Internet Gateway (and the cheaper unlisted SoftRouter Plus) are not just on Mac, but also are available on Windows95/98/NT, which everyone seems to forget.
NAT1000 is no longer available (apart from old stock from some suppliers) and will no longer have technical support. (We are offering a trade-in against NAT1000)
The latest version of Wingate requires a client application on client machines, which can only be PC's, no Macs.
Regards,
Bryan Keet,
Vicomsoft.
