Re: Work for Sun Remote User??

[Rama Roberts <Rama.Roberts@Eng>]

Yup- this is pretty sweet for Sun employees (or anyone else who needs to use a

It allows you to respond to the dynamic password by prompting you for the 
response, something that wasn't possible before this.
I've successfully sent mail through my internal IMAP server via my palm and 
modem.
