Good grief, get a modern terminal server that can do reasonable dynamic
address assignment.
We have 300+ lines here, and a user community of well over 13,000
students/staff/faculty. Each has his own IP address for SLIP/PPP
(allocated from a class-B network which we reserved specifically for
that purpose), which is dynamically assigned to whichever port he dials
in on at login time. That IP address is his alone, and is protected by
a username and password, which are soon to be authenticated by Kerberos.
