no no no, Bri - that's a GOOD thing.
1. you can authenticate them for access to dial-out
2. you consolidate (pool) the resource, so that fewer dedicated outbound
lines are required
3. it's more secure (no one can set their desktop up to answer a modem call
thereby remvoing that security threat)
4. people tend to abuse it less because they feel they're being monitored
(the centralized paranoia syndrome)
5. easier to maintain than individual dial modems scattered all over the
office/building/campus
It works GREAT when implemented properly. The only support problem becomes
the absolutely clueless users, and they're always a problem anyway, so
that's a wash. ;-)
Enterprise networking...what a concept!
