Hello there As you know (maybe) Lucent Portmaster series is at its deadline. We use extensively a nice feature of ComOS and we need to know in advance if it is supported on Lucent MAX boxes. Is there the possibility to pre-define a default/preferred host and service (tcp port) to open 'netdata' - this is the PM definition - session with it? With PM whenever a call arrives and a user logons with a specific name/password the box open a tcp session on port X with host Y in pass-through mode (i.e. without translation or interpretation of any character - this is different from a telnet sessions which capture some specific control chars such as Ctrl-]). This nice feature is used in our private network to build up custom client/server applications with some mbedded systems with limited capacities - which cannot open a ppp session and then connect the suitable host. thank you for any hints -- Francesco P.
