I have set up something similar in that we have a setup with an X.25 line connected to a Cisco 2501 and have people all over the world dial in to a local SprintNet number to connect to us. At a rate of $30/hour we don't want people to wander around the web all day (this is a private system that the company pays for not a commercial ISP). I have given people Eudora and set up a dial-up script to connect to our Cisco as a X.25 PAD ---> telnet connection and telnet from the cisco directly into port 25 or 110 of our mail machine. This has several advantages. 1) I can restrict access to our subnet only 2) Eudora hangs up the phone line after it's done (always) 3) I don't have to administer, install and troubleshoot TCP/IP on users computers The only disadvantages are the change password feature of Eudora doesn't work and they can't use the Eudora ph or finger tools. Which is a shame as I am trying to set up the company phonebook on something with ph/qi -Matt
