One obvious issue while dialed up to the internet is that your shares may be
visible to the world. Windows dial up networking (DUN) by default configures
tcp/ip and netbeui protocols.

 It is quite possible though unlikely to map a drive and share a this link
to the HP3000 via SAMBA. It is more likely that you may have sharing setup
for some !other! directories that you don t want the world to have access
to.

I have also posted to this list information regarding proxy servers that
perform port mapping and gateway functions for telnet and ftp. It is
important to note that these functions can WORK FOR BOTH OUTBOUND AND
INBOUND connections! Most of these packages have security that allows you to
restrict these connections with sub net allows and disallows.  But the user
must be smart enough to implement these restrictions.
