Not looking for uptime eh? I've tried using Win98 ICS and it doesn't
stay up for crap. You need to reboot every few days to clear it's
mind. You could use Windows 2000's ICS but that would require a bit
too much computer. The proper and low cost way to do this is with one
of those routers from the computer store.

The pcA gateway has never been useful for those trying to go through
the internet. Symantec describes how you can get TCP/IP clients
through an internet gateway. You might wish some sort of menu based
selection criteria but don't do it. When you combine pcAnywhere 10's
port selection with as many static maps through your internet gateway
as you have hosts, you got the perfect solution.

Enter the Symantec Knowledge base and search for "pcAnywhere configure
firewall".
