Does it have to a proxy server or can it just be NAT/PAT (network
address translation or more correctly port address translation)?  I
use SonicWall hardware by Sonic Systems:
        http://www.sonicsys.com
The basic 10 user box is about $400.  It does NAT but is not a proxy
server.  If you plan to do remote admin, be sure to get the VPN
option.

If you wanna play proxy on your OSR5 box, see:
    http://www.socks.nec.com/
Be careful here as SOCK45 has an additional level of login and
password entry to the proxy server which screws up many proxified
applications.  SOCKS4 should be fine if you don't need the extra
security.

Another SCO based solution is the Squid cache and proxy server as
found on the Skunkware cdrom.  See:
    http://www.caldera.com/skunkware/net/index.html#squid

The NAT home page (includes proxy servers).

My favorite is the single floppy Linux router:
    http://www.linuxrouter.org
    http://www.toms.net/rb/

There are also a bunch of dedicated hardware web caches and proxy
server combinations based on Linux.  I'm too lazy to dig these out.
These are mostly intended as performance enhancers for busy web
servers.

What works will depend upon what you are trying to accomplish.  Since
this appears to be a secret, specific recommendations are difficult to
supply.
