Your use of the word "ever" only requires a single counterexample.
(I found others; this was simply one of the better ones.)
You could of course argue that Tony Rall has been "infected".
You could draw up a chair alongside King Canute, too.

Partial quote (there's more):

Connecting a Lan to the Internet via OS/2
Tony Rall,
, 97/03/01

What has to be done to allow systems on my lan to talk to the Internet
via my one (typically dialup) ISP connection?

The following techniques have been used on OS/2 or other platforms to
accomplish this:

* routing
* proxy
* socks
* Network Address Translation
* IP masquerading
