The proxies were designed to facilitate multiple clients on a private network connecting to the internet on a single PPP connection. This can be implemented by having a Windows 95/98 or NT machine connect to the internet via modem while also listening to requests from their local network (Note: the gateway machine must be configured with two IP addresses – one for the modem connection and one for the ethernet connection – to support this operation.
