  no money in schools in Czech for something similar ;)

  I will have to think of about it a lot to make a decision, people
mentioned cipe, which is quite interesting but it doesn't support W95 and
I still don't know what it really does ;)
  I was personally thinking about some simple proxy which might
change my SSL in CLEAR for port 80 on my proxy and create few accounts for
on gate which could periodically get data from outside net and using SSL
crypted connection for inner one.
  Now I know there are many possibilites I have to think about, that's
cool, I can think a lot and don't solve anything which makes me feel well
;)
