Actually, our Unix system is the outside gateway, and the VAX-Unix connection
is accomplished via ethernet, while the unix-outside world connection is 
accomplished via a dial-up.

Is there any way to use something similar to this for our setup?  (This is
the type of simple solution that I am most interested in.)

Thanks -

BTW - I have received a few responses, but no "me-too's".  Is anyone else 
out there interested enough for me to summarize and post what I learn?
