RE: Real Audio Security

["Moore, James" <James.Moore () MSFC NASA GOV>]

I understand that the socks proxy is finding new applications for this sort
of thing (multimedia) due in part, I think, to the difficulty and risks
associated with passing it through a firewall. I know that NEC
(www.socks.nec.com) peddles some wares in this space - I haven't had time to
find out if there are any alternatives.
