You mean like Proxyconn? We used to use that, but stopped because they haven't made any new software for a long time as well.
http://ziproxy.sourceforge.net/ is what we replaced it with. Basically ziproxy being the customer facing side of a squid server. Even speeds up 1mbps sort of connections, though not as dramatically as dialup. And of course since it's just a proxy setting, it works with all operating systems and browsers. I have no idea how it compares with propel. On Mon, Mar 08, 2010 at 01:56:22PM -0600, David E. Smith wrote: > On Mon, Mar 8, 2010 at 13:45, Marlon K.
