I compared Eagle NT features with Gauntlet (I know, not fair) 
and compiling a list of the proxies turned out to be educational.

        Eagle NT 3.0                Gauntlet 3.1
  · Transparent Telnet          · Transparent Telnet
  · Authenticated Telnet        · Authenticated Telnet
  · Transparent Http            · Transparent Http
  · Proxied Http                · Proxied Http
  · Proxied Gopher              · Proxied Gopher
  · Transparent FTP             · Transparent FTP
  · Authenticated FTP           · Authenticated FTP
  · Transparent SMTP            · SMAP/Sendmail
    (No sendmail/mail relay     
     capabilities)              
                                · rlogin
                                · rsh
                                · X-11
                                · Finger
                                · Printer
                                · POP3
                                · Administrative GUI (info-gw)

Non-proxied service for NNTP, Whois, Real Audio, quotd,
(unauthenticated, directionally savvy port 'service(s)'):

  · Proxyd                      · plug-gw

Eagle also includes 'Generic pass-through', an unauthenticated, 
directionally clueless open port 'service'.  Must be the only 
'real way' to punch a hole in your firewall.

Authentication methods supported:

        Eagle NT                     Gauntlet
   · S/Key                      · S/Key
   · Password list              · Enigma Logistics devices
                                · SecureID (Security Dynamics)
                                · SecurNet (Digital Pathways)
                                · CryptoCard
                                · DigiPass

A more fair comparison would be with the Eagle Raptor UNIX vs. 
Gauntlet.

Feel free to correct my list!
