Does anyone know of a way to have an NT server wait for a user login (MAC or
PC) via regular telephone lines? Are there any alternatives to PCAnywhere? I
am interested in one since I need to remotely log onto a NT4 server in the
event that it loses it's TCP/IP connection it usually has. This server is
offsite from our office and is acting as a gateway to an Internet backbone
and uses Multilink PPP modems to achieve this.

When logon is successful, I need to be able to access the desktop and dial
up networking so I can have the modems reconnect to the backbone...

Can PC anywhere be active (waiting for a call) even though there has been no
active login at the NT server itself? If so, how can I set it up? Currently
we have the services auto-dial our MPPP modems automatically on startup even
though we have not actively logged onto the server. But if this fails, I
need to be able to access the box irregardless of the state of the MPPP and
TCP/IP connection.

Any ideas??
