---------------------------------------------------------------------
We are pleased to announce that Internet Gate 1.35 was released today.
This is only a maintenance release with few feature additions. The most
changes where made to the internal working of the program. We have
rewritten the cache algorithm and fixed some problems with the http proxy
server.
Here are the relevant changes made in this version:
* The cache file structure was changed, thus the older cache files from
version 1.30 and early are not compatible. See the readme files before
installing this new version.
* Fixed a compatibility problem with Netscape/2 and WebMirror when
Netscape/2 uses both an HTTP and a SOCKS proxy servers.
* Added the ability to use an external dialer in the OS/2 version. You can
now use external dialers like ISDNPM or iLink/2 to automate the
connection to your ISP.
* Fixed a problem that prevented the DNS server from starting under
Windows 95.
* Added our PPP.EXE, SLIP.EXE and SLATTACH.EXE to the distribution
package. If you have problems with the dialer under OS/2 try to use
these programs instead of the one you currently have installed.
As usual, this upgrade is free of charge for all registered customers and
can be downloaded from the web site http://www.maccasoft.com.
Feel free to write to support@maccasoft.com if you have any problem or more
questions about this release.
What is Internet Gate ?
Internet Gate is software designed to allow multiple users simultaneous
access to the Internet with only one connection of nearly any type (modem,
ISDN, leased line, cable modem, etc.). Internet Gate runs on a single OS/2
Warp, Windows 95 or NT computer which does not have to be "dedicated" to
the task.
Internet Gate can share a single Internet connection with nearly any type
of client computer running TCP/IP - and shares access with such popular
applications as Netscape Navigator, MS Internet Explorer, Eudora, Netscape
Mail, popular telnet and FTP programs, and many, many more.
Internet Gate is the perfect solution for anyone seeking to share Internet
access with other machines in nearly any environment, from a small home
office sharing a single modem to a large and complex network sharing an
ISDN or leased circuit. Internet Gate even acts a powerful firewall,
controlling access both to and from your valuable internal network.
