Ok, this makes sense, I don't have a problem with ISDN access because we
charge the same rate, we don't do unlimited access so if the bond channels
their time meter spins twice as fast and they get charged for it.

Ok, cool, Then can I have the passwords moved out of the passwd file into
Emerald directly as they login?
