MP>I have a small, home network that includes a debian box, and a Win98SE
MP>box. I am hooked up to the internet via cable.  I would like to be able to
MP>dial into my home network, from remote, using possibly as little as
MP>Arachne for DOS, and be able to access my home internet connection.

MP>Mostly, I would want to be able to dial-in, and then use telnet to access
MP>an e-mail account.  However, I might also want to do some surfing, either
MP>via Arachne on the remote, or by using lynx on the machine that I have
MP>dialed-in on.

MP>Is this possible?  I think that I have seen packages for debian, as well
MP>as an option under Windows setup, that might allow this.  I guess I am
MP>wondering, if the machine that is dialing-in has to be running the same
MP>OS, or even package, as the machine being dialed into.

I've used VNC (www.realvnc.com) for this sort of thing as well as remote
control.  XP has additional capabilities but with W9x you're left to something
like VNC or a commercial product.  VNC is free and has various tweaked
versions for more specialized needs - TightVNC (www.tightvnc.com) has
additional compression for slower links, f'rinstance...
