Rick,
In the State of Wisconsin, WiscNet(the state higher education network)
has established seven dialup test sites providing SLIP access for both Macs
and PCs. Eudora and Nupop are used for mail services. Telnet, ftp, gopher and
mail are offered. Cisco terminal servers are used as hardware.
The concept originated at the University of Wisconsin-Madison but is
scalable downward to smaller sites. A POP3 mail server is necessary. Any
VAX running VMS(with PDMF software) and any UNIX system will suffice. The
trick is authentication and adequate terminal server hardware.
I suggest you contact Jess Anderson at UW-Madison for particulars.
Here at Ripon College, we are also experimenting with PPP via a
Tribelink server made by Tribe Computing Inc. However, the Tribelink
software is not yet stable. Until it is, I can't fully recommend it. The
beauty of PPP is that you can offer many services on your dialup lines
including Appletalk and TCP/IP. Madison does not offer Appletalk access.

We also are looking into more robust remote access solutions beyond our
current
piecemeal set-up. Does anyone have a solution for both Windows and
Mac users? Does anyone feel that the new MCI offering coming in March
(which will provide full Internet access to individuals for a fee)
will take some of the pressure to provide remote access solutions?
