You need a PC, modem & communications software. your choice of each of these depends on what you're dialing in to and how you need to connect.
If you simply have a modem on your server & dial directly in, you can use something like Pro*Comm and have a command-line session with your server.
If you want to use the windows desktop products, you need to provide for a PPP or SLIP connection. (you will also need the fastest modem you can get). You will then use SQL*Net just like you do in the office to communicate with the servers. You must have a device on the network (such as a Shiva lan rover) to call in to and establish the PPP, and you must have dial-up software on the remote PC (Spry's Air Series, for example) in addition to SQL*Net and, of course, the oracle desktop products you want to use.

There are a thousand ways to configure remote access. These are just two fairly straightforward methods that I have used.
