That's right. Only an MHSC customer.
There are other dial-up options and MHSC has direct dial-up ports available. Also, we do allow VPN tunnels from *.EDU, but only to directed hosts with no routing and on advanced arrangement. The user that does so, does it under our TOS and AUP.
If they know enough detail "ahead of time". Hence they are prevented from the benefit of opportunistic access.
since imap popularity is growing, lack of imap service is also problematic.It's balance of problems. We consider the rootkit risk more severe than the loss of business from *.EDU sites. We have secure POP3 and Web-based (SSL)
It isn't a question of loss of business from a .edu site. It is a question of loss of business from an MHSC customer who is traveling. d/ =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dave Crocker Tel: +60 (19) 3299 445 <mailto:dcrocker () brandenburg com> Post Office Box 296, U.P.M.
