- There was a post from Jake Stevens a while back which talked about
- Everywhere Access where you TELNET into PCs for remote access.
- This works with Unix, VMS, and the others you mention for access
- into Netware.

- We use Everywhere Access here but don't use all the security options.
-
- It has password protection, exponential delays between unsuccessful
- attempts, features which limit incoming sessions to those from a
- particular host or subnet, acceptable-timeofday-window for connections,
- and a myriad of others I forget. There is also a programmer's API where
- you can add further criteria for connections.
