      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?

It should "just happen".  It works on all the systems here at cisco.
Both the password protection and username/password (tacacs) protection
work on incoming lines (when activated by modem control or activation
character), outgoing lines (just after the telnet connection is
established), and VTYs (ditto).


      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?


The current release (8.2) supports "slip address dynamic".  When the user
issues a SLIP command, the TS prompts for a hostname and password, which
are authenticated via tacacs (or extended tacacs).
