If I run locally on the client an application that uses Internet (such as Fetch or Mosaic), the server receives as caller name: client.dummy.xx or server.dummy.xx? If someone sends mail or make FTP to client.dummy.xx when it is connected to a remote node what happens? Note that client.dummy.xx is not always connected to the server, it is only a temporary Internet address. 3) Can a personal computer (such as a Macintosh or a PC running Windows) connected to the server VIA MODEM using COMMUTATE (not dedicated) lines run locally a program that uses Internet (such as Fetch or Mosaic)? Thank you.
