Also, I think CAK missed the fact that GDS's message explained a different approach to accomplishing Purdue's goal. Namely users on backend machines can be blocked from network access (to local as well as ARPANET sites) either in general or according to type of network service (mail, FTP, Telnet, etc.) Even if this does not solve Purdue's problem, it seems like it might be useful information for other sites, and it does not say Purdue should not control access. -------
