  I know cisco terminal server can configured with username/password
for "incomming connection" to a port.  I am unable to configure it
to ask for username/password in the "out going" connection like reverse
tcp service.   Am I doing something wrong?   

  Another point of interest on SLIP implementation on cisco terminal server.
On current configuration for SLIP line, each port is associated with an
IP address.  If you set it these ports on the modem pool for imcomming connection,
users will pick up an IP address which associated with that particular port. I
would like to be able to do username/password and then assign an IP number
that this associated with the username.  Will cisco plan to support this kind
of configuration in the future?
