A *very* big if ... if the company is filled with non-Unix boxes
(help I'm stuck in Windows land!).
Even if the company is filled with techie, Unix types (Hi AT&T!)
but the management hierarchy lives on PC/Windows ... you'll have
to consider that small, vocal (merit evaluting) minority :)
(no offense to SOCKS - it seems to be a nice proxy solution. Just
remember that one person's "small if" is another's "big if")
