		I have received a number of responses concerning this
and the major question everyone has is "What application is this being
used for?"
		Well the premise behind this request is this. Employee's
that have a personal ISP account's either through Erols, AOL,
compuserve, PSI etc. can gain access to the interior network while
working at home. Not all ISP's support IPX routing. Therefore there
would have to be some type of IP to IPX translation. We are dealing with
multiple locations(buildings) and approximately 2000 employee's living
in a tri-state area and trying to implement a single point of entry to
the backbone. I realize that this also creates a security problem but
will deal with that next. 

		I know I've seen this thread before but, I am currently
in the need for implementing  a IP-IPX gateway for a large corporation.
Any thoughts or inputs would be greatly appreciated.
