These are kind of dial in terminal servers, but they also give web + mail
+ shell access for their users. 90% of the logged in users run pppd. I use
pppd 2.2.0f. Each machine has 3 serial card with 8 16550A UART each. They
have 3Com Vortex or Boomerang network cards. Pentium/100Mhz, 32Mb RAM,
1.2Gb EIDE HD.
