Hi Chris,

No, he knows the difference between external and internal access and the
nternet and the network.  Believe me.

What he's asking is for a simple auth against something other than a
RADIUS server since one doesn't exist on the network in question.  Jesse
seems to not understand this question either.  Its quite clear/simple,
actually.
