We currently have the CCN Portmaster up and running in a beta-test mode
(currently with only 4 telephone lines, I believe). It offers full PPP
service, i.e. the ablity to run graphical client applications like
Netscape & Internet Explorer as well as client applications for EMail,
Usenet, Telnet & FTP service. How much to expand this, to whom and for
what prices is a decision for the Board to undertake. 

Cheers!

Chris
