That doesn't make you dumb, but it is a handicap because the national providers don't want to give the numbers to the local ISP. I have configured Linux boxes with multiport cards to assign the IP when the user is logged in. The ISP that I did it for still had a problem with his original lines (Cisco router and NT Tacacs authentication). Goes to show that Linux systems are better than those ready-made boxes. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Paul Wade Greenbush Technologies Corporation + + mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.greenbush.com/ + +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ + http://www.greenbush.com/cds.html Special Linux CD offer + +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
