Hi;

I have found diald very useful and fascinating.  I have a question for you about
it.  Unfortunatly, I am not sure if it is not a stupid one.

Assume we have two computers; scoter (129.128.112.62) which is connected to the
LAN through an Ethernet card, and cowbird (129.128.112.134) which is connected
to the LAN through a ppp link to scoter using a modem.

If I run diald on the server (scoter),

Q1: Does it mean each time scoter need to access cowbird (say sending a mail for
somebody at cowbird), scoter will dial the cowbird?

Q2: Is this also can trick the other computers on the domain? I mean they
believe that cowbird is on line and they can access it on demand.

Sincerely,

Hassan
