When we started out years ago, every user got a static IP. That's since
changed, but I've always thought a decent NAT between the dialup equipment
and the net would be nice. The user would always get the same address
back and could resume their session... I actually did the inverse at home
for some time with IPFilter's NAT. I could have a bunch of term sessions
on various boxes and resume all of them when the router/pc dialed back in
after being dropped. I did have a static IP, but only one for about 5
machines...
