Putty Equivalent: If you are pre-OSX you want to use Nifty Telnet SSH.
If you are in OSX you can use ssh, sftp, and scp directly in your terminal
app.
For Mixmaster: In pre-OSX you can use the cumbersome Mixfit. I think you
will have to manually mix each layer for it to come out right because it
creates a "mailto: remailername" header which isn't recognized by
remailers. You may have to replace "mailto" with a double colon, carriage
return, remailername . I wasn't able to figure out how to change the
source code.
If you are using OSX you may have to use the commandline -o option with a
unix mixmaster to create a usable mix file. From there you can anonymize
it further very well with pgp cypherpunk etc.
I've never used Quicksilver/JBN since I don't have a windoze/dos box.
I don't know anything about sockscap or freecap. I never got that far in
the unix book. All my socks get holes because I forget to trim my
toe nails.
If you can get a mix program to compile correctly on linux there shouldn't
be any problems. It worked for me many years ago but I haven't had linux
since then.
