Re: SQL*Net through the modem

I have done this myself and agree with Chuck. When connected via modem, the home PC is just another node on the network. I had SQL*Net V1 running VERY slowly from home over 14400 and 28800 baud modems. When I upgraded the network to SQL*Net V2, it didn't work anymore -- no errors, just a time-out. I've a feeling that the overhead associated with V2 was too much for the modem connection.
