Are you looking for login security or encryption? There are modem (actually host) front-ends that will ask for login/password before connecting to the host. Is a dial-back modem an option? Make sure that access to the password unit is protected by a keylock or you might as well use system logins. -- -------------------------------------------- | Kent W.
