(PM) Re: PM3 as WindowsNT RAS device

Running RADIUS for dial-in authentication to the network (whether NT or
not) is no problem -- that is not our goal. Our corporate LAN has it's
own terminal servers. I'm working to provide a means for dialing OUT
from our LAN to the world... Perhaps a remote site, a BBS, or a SLIP
account.

My problem is finding a solution to make the PM3 act as a modem just as
it was connected to a WindowsNT Workstation machine. (example: As a RAS
device: COM10: M0 on PM3).

I know I can make the PM3 dial out with on-demand locations but that's
not what I'm attempting. What I need is more dynamic than that. My
users need to be able to dial out when they need to and to whatever
phone number they choose.

Thanks,
