All of what you want to do is possible, although *verified users* is 
harder.  I suggest you contact a local ISP and ask them for help or the 
name of a consultant who can help you.  Alternatively, read the docs for 
the ppp command, and see if you can experiment with the -alias flag, 
which will provide access from lan to Internet but not vice versa.

The reason I don't elaborate is that there is just *so much* to say on 
the topic.   And yes, you can run uucp over leased line, and even over 
TCP/IP.
