Huh? I'm successfully masquerading anyone who plugs into my network over
a dynamic ip address. Please explain.

All they know is their dos telnet program telnets to the unix machine on
campus and anywhere else, and the win95 machine is able to use netscape,
MS browser, telnet, ftp, etc... just fine, no configuration involved other
than making my machine (internal network ip) the gateway.

Would someone please explain to me what the benifit of socks is over
masquerading?
