Re: Passwords for Remote Access
At Johns Hopkins, we have been using IP screening and it has worked fairly well, except in cases where we are offering a service such as Winspirs access to Silverplatter databases which requires PPP access. The problem: not all of our students are eligible for PPP accounts at JHU, and are using commercial accounts. Unfortunately, the character client via telnet in this case isn't very elegant.
