Do my client applications have to be changed if I decide to use the PrivateNet server?
A. No. In many cases, SOCKS 4.2 or SocksPlus proxy is already part of your client application and can communicate with the PrivateNet server. These are clients provided by such vendors as Netscape, NetManage, FTP, SPRY, etc. For those MS Windows client applications which do not utilize SOCKS 4.2 or SocksPlus proxy, you will need to install NEC’s dynamic load library and executable(s); e.g. for Microsoft Windows (SOCKSpls.dll and SOCKSpls.exe). For UNIX client applications which do not utilize SOCKS 4.2 or SocksPlus proxy, you will need to link NEC’s SocksPlus proxy libraries to your UNIX client applications.
