   Hi Brian!   
      
   I do not recall an authentication product that allows auth against   
   Worldgroup's database, however, it would be relatively easy to write.   
      
   A few questions:   
      
   1. How would the Email/IM/etc servers want to "connect" - would they   
   prefer using a URL Connection, or a port connection with a proprietary   
   command script?  Or something else?   
      
   2. What platforms would be calling WG to auth?  Java?  UNIX?   
      
   Let me know, and I can try to work on something for you for a reasonable   
   price.
