of course. probably also a separate modem bank if the terminal servers
aren't smart enough. In Ciscos I'm told it means defining a profile for
EACH user...

Constantin contacted me voice since and I got the full picture... he has
an FR, and wants to let bezek connect people to him through 135. the same
way I use /etc/ppp/options.ttyS? he can give IP addresses per telnet
session.

Netvision are shmocks. for that price you can get an FR from Bezek AND
connect at about $120 to Artaxia with one I address and %15 bandwidth or
something... I would have done that if I hadn't cut myself from the FR
line completely.
