Someone stated/implied that it was easy to get inbound access and one would only have to pay for the traffic, but it wasn't you Paul, sorry. Either I must have been reading things which weren't or mixed it up with someone else's post. It might be a question of "need", or departmental policy. My own experience is that back when I asked, Kerry plain refused, even more so for students. (But it's amazing for what things procmail can be abused in lack of a small mail server.. sorry, OT) > By nature of the protocol it is not possible to proxy ssh like telnet or > ftp. I remember you saying this before, Kerry. From a linux list (can't remember which) I once got the distinct impression that there are proxies for ssh and it's possible, but I didn't follow it up. Or is the real problem not the proxying, but the charging? Volker -- Volker Kuhlmann is possibly list0570 with the domain in header http://volker.orcon.net.nz/ Please do not CC list postings to me.
