Would this be a single account and password assigned to the IP? Would 3 or 4 Editors for that IP all use the same account and password whenever they have the urge to FTP new material? Since this might be the only CCN user account connected to the IP, how would CCN keep track of who the editor is? How to reach them, where to direct refused mail or attempts to subscribe to IP email list? Who would receive notices, bills, etc. from CCN? Wuld we do all this using the Editor's own external email address? Formerly we always required a legal CCN user account. One problem now is that someone taking out a CCN account to use only to FTP does not know how to log on and go in to forward e-mail to their regular account. Or, could they also change the mailf forward settign and password by FTPing those files into their FTP account? Just some questions that come to mind? Bob Adams IP Training 464-9258
