Re: web browser

Are they dialing in using SLIP or PPP, that they'd be able to access
something with a web browser?  Or is it that there's a firewall between
the machine they dial into, and the machine with the web store?

If the only reason for this is to work around a firewall/routing issue,
then I'd suggest writing/finding/buying a proxy.   I know I could write a
quick proxy in an hour or two, whereas writing a web browser would take
me something like a year, and I still wouldn't be satisfied :)  YMMV.
