Cameron,
The fact that your users require this facility 'out of ours' seems to
suggest that a low cost solution is required. Netware connect falls into
this category an it really depends on how many people need this as to how
cost effective it will actually be. The 2 port version is around 250 uk
pnds and seems to run ok with dos, windows and windows 95 clients. We have
only just started using it so can't comment too much on it's features
except to say that it does work but isn't fast. From memory, this product
will also support ISDN which could be usefull is there is a chance that
this will facility will become more important and heavily used in the
future.

Alternatively, you may look at NT. It's NetWare Gateway coupled with RAS
could give a  higher performance solution. I say this from listening to
others rather than personal experience, so check it out carefully before
you spend any money.
