So, bottom line is you can't proxy telnet (your only alternative is to open up to the world!!) and there are some concerns over its FTP proxy. If I were you I would buy a firewall ;-)
I suggest you buy a book on Microsoft Proxy Sever 2.0/1.0 as your response clearly shows that you dont understand its architecture. You *can* proxy Winsock 1.1 compliant applications (e.g TELNET) using MSP Winsock Proxy module. As for FTP sessions, you could proxy them using the Web Proxy module and do a content scan using ISAPI . What makes a product a good firewall is its ability to reinforce the company security policy and to do it well. If Microsoft Proxy server can do that for your company then it is not a less secure solution than any other firewall vendor (e.g Checkpoint, TIS etc.). The tricky part is to know how to define a security policy and to map it to technical requirements. Cheers, Itai.
