Using BSDI ver 2.1 ..Just Starting the ISP.. I would like to offer to new 
clients the opportunity to download Explore and then to access the Web Pages 
on my server ONLY.. This way they get a taste for the Internet and we can 
pitch the service using glitzy Web pages and not just text. In order to do 
this it seems to me we have to create a restricted class or in some way turn 
off the ip forwarding for only this group of clients. I want those new clients 
 who dial in to be able to view only those Web pages we offer at least until 
the become paying clients. Would probably set up an account Pfree with a 
password or none at all. Any Ideas on how to restrict a PPP account with BSDI 
ver 2.1? Thanks
