Re: Remote access via www instead of dial-up

Hi Mark.

If you have dial-up access to the internet, you can establish a telnet connection. Get a ppp connection going through your ISP, and use Win95's built-in telnet package. Just go to Start...Run and type telnet and the ip address. Works great!

Hope this helps.
