Yep. That's correct. But theres a client program that is used
to administer the proxy server. It allows you to add users, configure
ports and services (http/ftp/etc) and control modems, which is what i
want it for. I just need some way of making wingate dial out when i
want so that i can do it remotely from a linux box.

I thought that Wingate was a proxy and that the apps you use on your
clients
just need to be able to use the proxy for e-mail, web browsing, etc?
I had a couple of offices that used Wingate and there was no client
software
installed on the Macs or PCs. We just set Eudora, Netscape, etc, to
point
to the Wingate box.
