i know of several slip/ppp endpoints that aren't password protected. more every day, in fact.
probably clamp down anyway, since presumably they didn't pay good money for those resources to give them away free to anyone who can dail up to
I was wondering about that -- I kind of assumed that Peter meant "real" endpoints that were unprotected because they provided service that way. For example, UUNET has (had?) a 1-900-GETSRCS (or something like that) UUCP dialin, the phone company mediated money handling, uunet didn't care who you were -- but as far as I know it would only allow file transfer. Are there any slip/ppp/uucp+rmail points that are "open" that aren't likely to dry up if they get widely announced? If so, please announce them! _Mark_
