Mainly what we're needing to figure out is how to have the machine housing the Cyclades be able to safely access the passwd file on the main server. But any other suggestions or input to possible problems with this setup are also appreciated :) Right now we have two Cyclades cards in the main server, but we will be needing to add more and didn't really want to just keep cramming more cards into the main server. It may be easier/cheaper in the long run to just go with a PortMaster, but we already have the Cyclades cards here, so we would like to use them if it is feasible. Also, we have 7 brand new, still in the box USR Sportster 33.6 external modems for $100 each that we won't be using if anyone is interested. TIA Susie
