My first dynamic gate was on a timer. I had two dialups with static addresses. I wrote scripts that had someone's host change my nets routes every two hours. When I got a dedicated dialup I setup some other folks with a messy thing that used ftp. I had a script that checked to see is certain users were connected ftp added a route to the connecting host if it found them. I wrote remote and remoted after the Linux version mentioned by Brian Lantz didn't materialize. Remote and remoted were also in the collection of scripts that I called lnxbbs. lnxbbs was a bit much to chew, but you can see it at http://gw.ko6ri.ampr.org/bbs It does bbs as mail, news, web and from the shell. It was written to use Steve Fraser's fbbforward. I'm taking parts of it and breaking it into independent packages. Dynamic_gate is one of those . I have another package that configures sendmail to send bulletins and personals addressed to the bbs system to a script that writes an import file. It makes the changes to the sendmail.cf and relay-domains files for ya in the install script. It's almost ready. After that I'll do the other half, bbs to mail. It's a lot simpler. Bob
