We would like to provide our site with dial-in PPP and terminal access 
FROM a remote calling area.  However, the provider of this service, is 
also the major internet provider in this region, but our corporate 
point-of-presence is elsewhere, and must be kept there.  We therefore 
must ensure that those dialing in can only connect to our network, and 
that those on the Internet cannot access our net.  A quick schematic 
would look like:

			INTERNET
			   |
			   |
modems---<terminal server>---router--<FRAME RELAY>--router---bastion host---our domain.  
			   |
			   |	
			INTERNET

TIS's FWTK can proxy FTP/TELNET/NNTP, but the $94 question is
	1. Can FWTK be configured to proxy PPP to our local hosts?
If so, how?

I believe Plug-gw could play a major roll in this, but questions 
abound....



Thanks in advance 


Erik
