"NAT" per-se is a concept, or RFC if you will. Currently, NAT is in
closeted beta on Livingston products.

If you want to use Livingston products and have NAT, may I suggest Trumpet
FIRESOCK (not winsock). It is a NAT stack that runs under windows 95/nt
and does true independent Nat translation. Unlike Wingate and those other
crappy ones, Firesock actually WORKS, and requires NOTHING special on the
workstations, only some software on the host, PLUS its cheaper than all
the others.

We have set it up in some small offices where they have perhaps 2 or 3
machines. It effectively turns a win 95 box into an on-demand router which
you could then attach to an OR-U, or just use a modem in the win 95 box.
PLUS the workstations can be anything, e.g. Linux, BSDI, Mactcp, etc..
