I installed a FreeBSD6.0 server/firewall for a remote customer about a week ago. Today they told me that on there LAN they had a Unix box that runs their internal ascii based accounting system that they have been accessing by modem from home. Now they want to access it over the Internet. The box is a pentiumIII running a SCO unixV from 1990 or 2000 with no secure anything that I have been able to find. In fact the company who maintains their system uses uucp for updating. I was thinking ipsec, originally but now I don't see a way to configure the SCO end of a tunnel. The server has a simple pf firewall with only a few ports open and opening ports isn't a problem. The application is a terminal session. Thirty users login in to it as root all with windows terminal sessions except for the modem connections and to make it more fun I shouldn't modify the SCO box because of their service contract. I would appreciate any suggestions for a reasonably secure solution. I just found all this out and am totally blank. thanks, ed
