  Masqdialer
ftp://ftp.solarisguide.com/pub/masqdialer

The Masqdialer server sits on a unix box and will initiate network connections at the requests of clients. The server will either accept or deny the request based on IP address and username and password authentication. The Masqdialer server originally would only dial out modems using pppd, but now it has a wide array of uses, and essentially any network connection can be used.

Apache has been the most popular web server on the Internet since April of 1996. The January 1999 WWW server site survey by Netcraft found that over 53% of the web sites on the Internet are using Apache (58% if Apache derivatives are included), thus making it more widely used than all other web servers combined.

  INN
ftp://ftp.solarisguide.com/pub/isc/inn

InterNetNews is a complete Usenet system. The cornerstone of the package is innd, an NNTP server that multiplexes all I/O. Think of it as an nntpd merged with the B News inews, or as a C News relaynews that reads multiple NNTP streams. Newsreading is handled by a separate server, nnrpd, that is spawned for each client. Both innd and nnrpd have some slight variances from the NNTP protocol (although in normal use you will never notice); see the manpages. INN separates hosts that feed you news from those that have users reading news. If you need to support a mixed environment you will have to do some extra work; the installation manual gives some hints.
