Actually, we have some Cisco gateways at work.  As near as I can tell,
they only work with LANs, and aren't set up to work across phone lines.
The configurations we need have set (subnets) that are geographically
quite remote from each other, and we are using (transient) SLIP links
across the phone system to establish connectivity.  If Cisco can do
this, I'd be interested in finding out how (or where to look in the
manuals or who to call to order any add-on stuff to make it work).
