this method is a pain in the neck to install!  the *simplest* 
method is to use carbon copy.  this method can also provide good 
security, since carbon copy can be set for dialback if needed.
carbon copy also provides better security since carbon copy will 
be required to access the dialin machine.  you should make sure 
that users always log out before disconnecting, however.  

ccopy runs 
much faster than the bridge approach which can use an entire 
packet to send one character, and will want to load programs into
your local cpu across the dialin bridge.  unless you need to use 
a mouse, ccopy works fine for single dialin access.  if you need 
multiple dilain access, take a look at the NACS multiple port 
board, reviewed sometime last summer in PC magazine's review of 
asynchronous communications servers...
