Phone Box Passwords Lanter, Steven SB SNORC Mon, 31 Jul 2000 19:00:10 -0500

Hello Folks,

Could someone tell me how would you set up phone boxes for individual users
with their own passwords?  Passwords for users that wouldn't allow access to
other things.  I'm still looking at using ECS (seems like the best around,
by far), and this would be one thing I would look at using if I started
using it.  Would it be as simple as creating password items named for the
individual box numbers?  Or is it even possible?

Thanks, Steve
