Anyone know of some software for OS X to allow remote dial in? I'm on the road occassionally and instead of paying for another internet account I thought I might be able to dial into my Mac and share my braodband connection? I know something like this was available when OS 8-9 was in force (I think it was called remote access-original!).



Cheers!

    ARA was available in OS 9. I used it a lot. It worked but it was not very robust. It's not available in X. BUT:



    I bought 2 Snow Airport basestations.

    I hooked them both to analog phone lines. They have a remote "answer calls" feature. Pretty cool. :0)

    I configured them via the APBS software.

    BAM! They rock.



    In fact they are wayyy more stable than ARA servers. And they double as wireless hubs! Not bad for $150 each (eBay).



    It's worth considering...
