I have an interesting problem I am hoping someone can offer a solution to.
I have a client that wishes to have remote dial-in to his system with PC's.
He is security conscience and wants to set up a dial in disk with the phone
number and password information setup in a script.  Now here comes the
challenge.  He doesn't want anyone to read the information on the disk.  The
only way I could imagine doing this is to copy protect the disk after its
created.  This brings up a couple of questions for me.

1) Can you copy protect a bootable diskette.
2) Will this method provide a suitable deterent for the average user.
3) What products are available to do this with.

Another possibility would be a communications package that would allow
encryption of the script in execution so no one but the person with the
password can examine/modify the script only use it.

Any help you can give me concerning this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.  Scott R. Myers
