There once was a neat and tiny research institute, where everyone was happy 
with calculations done on a pocket-calculator.
Alas, they got personal computers, and a Novell-network to interconnect these,
and found out they liked it.

A thing they especially like is e-mail, and so they want to connect their 
LAN to the net (Eunet, as far as they are concerned) --- obviously they
got tired of being asked for an e-mail-adress and admitting not to have one.

While I'm admittedly not at all experienced with PC-LANs, I understood that
UUPC is capable of doing this for a single PC. Is there such a beastie which
is able to do this for a whole LAN ??

Some requirements are :
	-cheapness --- their research has nothing to do with defence-topics ;-).
	-transparency to the user --- they are not very experienced.
	-automatic connection and delivery via telephone

If you can give me a clue, I'd very appreciate it. I'm willing to summarize to
comp.mail.misc if requested.
