Dial-up remote LAN via Roadrunner?

[Kelly Mashiba]

I have Roadrunner and a dial-up account (phone number) at work .....but no
telephone line for my modem to dial out. How can I connect to my dial up
account via a cable modem?

Any help appreciated!
Thanks
Ken

Add another account (your work account) to you're email program. If it's
Outlook Express goto:
Tools | Accounts | New | Mail
Put in your name, your email addy, your work POP3 server name, and use your
RoadRunner account's SMTP server address (for incoming / outgoing,
respectively). Oh, set the "Reply to" address to your work address, and goto
the Advanced tab of the setup. You'll want to check the box that says "leave
a copy of mail on server". That way, you don't end up with all-important,
work-related email stuck on your home pc with no way of geting it onto your
work pc. Well, there's always forwarding, but why forward when you can just
leave it there for Monday morning? :-)

I do the same thing, everyday - works like a charm.

Note that this may cause your account password to be sent across the
Internet in plaintext unless some type of encrypted authentication is
used.

I (personally) am not very comfortable with that, but suggestions to
my broadband (RoadRunner) host and my dial-up (Earthlink) host that
they support encrypted authentication has met with... well, I'm afraid
the word I have to use is "cluelessness". (Unless I'm missing
something, but neither company has mentioned that I am.)

If anyone knows of a nationally-accessible e-mail service that does
support encrypted authentication (so I can get my mail from either
home or away with some degree of peace of mind), I'd appreciate
suggestions. (Though I'm not wild about Yet Another Mail Account, and
I'd rather my current hosts would just figure this out and do it.)

(I'm not so much concerned about someone eavesdropping on my mail, but
I am concerned about someone hacking using my account. I would think
the hosts would also want to ensure against that.)

You might want to look into Hushmail at hushmail.com. Totally encrypted

I use it and it's great for keeping plain text stuff out of prying
eyes. All sessions are SSL encrypted.

If his Network Admin is as paranoid with his network as I am with mine, then
no user with a mail account has an active login account. You can sniff or
crack all of my users' email passwords, it won't do you much good when you
attempt a login and your shell is /bin/false :-). And you won't even get
that far, unless you use the same ISP as one of my users, because tcp
wrappers is set pretty securely.

Bottom line, if his network gets jacked because he allows users remote email
access - then he's learned a valuable lesson. Worked for me ;-) Luckily (or
wisely), I had the mail box in a DMZ.
