[comp.sys.apollo] Apollo dial-back modems

hughes@edsews.eds.com (William R. Hughes) (11/27/90)

Bill,

Would you please post a question to the net for me.  We don't
have news feeds working yet, and I can't wait until Ted gets
back.  The question should probably go to apollo.sys.misc
or some other Apollo/communication related group.

Here's the question:
---------------------------------------------------------------
Is anyone using a dial-back modem with their Apollo systems?          

Our management wants to supply dial-in access to certain employees, but
they are concerned about security.  They asked me to investigate
dial-back modems for Apollo's.  I have talked to my friendly HP sales
rep.  He couldn't find any products except those which connect to HP
machines.

We have 59 Apollo 3500's using SR10.2 on Apollo token ring.

We appreciate any recommendations or warnings you can send us about
Apollo dial-back modem products.

Please mail direct to runyan@c4west.eds.com.  We don't get news feeds
here yet.  Summaries will be sent on request.

Thanks

Yes.  Apollo is.  However I have no idea who you should get in touch
with, or even what system they are using.  I believe they had to write
some of the software themselves, but I'm not positive.

I'm not sure which upsets me more; that people are so unwilling to accept
responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate
everyone else's.
