It is an Ascend, I believe. I am not at school so cannot check at the
moment. We have full control over our network - the router sits next to
the server and we can do with it what we wish. We connect to the
Internet using IFL (an RM company). The router is a standard 2x64K ISDN
2e affair.

Actually we do, if I read you correctly. We have range of IP addresses
we can use. Each machine on the network has its own IP address and can
be pinged from outside. We run our own mail server too, using NT Mail
(although mail is collected globally from the ISP using POP3) so we have
quite a nice little system.

Does this make things easier?

Cheers.
