Sure,
(Note, the following is not an ad -- it's a response to a question posed by
David Ranch)
ShareTheNet is a software product based on off-the-shelf Linux/Masquerading
software. It makes setting up a Masq box point-and-click simple. It's
completely diskette based, so you don't even have to dedicate a machine to
the task. The URL for the product is http://www.ShareTheNet.com. There is
a free version, and a for-pay version. The for-pay version has a web based
administration interface that allows most aspects of the STN box to be
administered from afar. The admin interface also allows the user to look a
numerous status screens.
A note for the zealots among us, the for-pay version comes as a M$ Windows
zip file. You install it into a Win box and run a little VB program that
builds your STN diskette for you. This is not evil. This is a good thing.
This way, people who have no knowledge/understanding of Linux can use it.

BTW, we are looking for STN VARs. The basic gist is: you get the software
for a 30% discount, and you set up STN boxes for your customers. We figure
each installed box could net the VAR between $200-$1500US depending on the
size of the network they install. Installing and administering STN is very
simple when compared to setting up a MASQ box -- even if you have a lot of
experience.
