Subj : Remote Dial-In Networking

Hello, Mike...

The system you are dialing in on certainly doesn't need to be running the same 
OS, if you are using Arachne or some other web-based client. What you'd need in 
that case is a web server running at home and some kind of dial-up TCP/IP 
service at each end.

Depending on what you really need, your easiest way of doing something like 
this would be with PC/Anywhere or some such to the Windows machine. If your 
requirement is really to use a DOS-based machine as the dial-in client, that 
won't work.

Are you doing this as an excercise of some sort? I would think that for very 
few dollars you could get a machine capable of running Win98, at least, to use 
as a remote system.

Regards,

Jerry Schwartz
