   Has anyone tried using an in-line authentication box (like the
   Digital Pathways Defender 5000) with ARA?

   An in-line authentication box would sit between the answering
   modem and the ARA server.  The user would have to prove his or her
   identity before the authentication box would complete the connection
   to the ARA server.  I guess the real question is can the ARA client
   software support this dialog prior to completion of the ARAP connection.


     Before authentication:

       ARA client --- Modem - - - - - - - - - Modem --- Defender 5000


     After authentication (Defender finishes transparent connection):

       ARA client --- Modem - - - - - - - - - Modem ----- ARA server

John,
	The GatorLink is currently being used in several environments that
do this. You can contact Security Dynamics at 617-547-7820 for information
about there hardware ACE server product. You can also contact LeeMah in
Hayward at 510-786-0790. The contact there was Norm Sutton. I am not sure
if anyone has used the Digital Pathways product but the concepts are so
similar that I doubt there would be any problem. Feel free to contact
sales@cayman.com for more information as they are pretty familiar with
what everyone is doing out there with the GatorLink.
