Thanks, Martin. I'm going there right now. From what you say that is exactly what I need if I can easily keep the users off the LAN by restricting them to telneting to the SCO box. These are far from being trusted users. The connection will be used by a large companies staff for everything from accounting system updates to reporte generation, and printing. I don't want them playing there :D. The more I talk the more this sounds like a VERY restrictive jail. Thanks again, ed
