Open Text SOCKS Client is a solution for organizations that need a commercially supported, enterprise-grade SOCKS client that makes it easier to allow their critical applications to traverse SOCKS proxies and firewalls. The solution can also be used by third-party vendors searching for an OEM package to support the SOCKS protocol in their products and solutions. Open Text SOCKS Client is available immediately. http://www.opentext.com/
