Re: Connect via PC -- MIDRANGE-L

just dialing to the as/400 is easy but at least you0ve two problems:
- only one people can use it (one for each line/modem)
- you can pay long distance call if not in the same city

i think the best will be stabilish an internet connection with an ISP
doing a local call from an networked pc, now remote pc's connect to
internet using other ISP, and (knowing the IP addrees of the
networked+conected pc or AS/400) can use the LAN resources.

could this be possible?
maybe neccesary an fixed IP for the networked PC (and the Networked
AS/400)

AS400---PC----ISP-----INTERNET------RemotePC  

at least here in Spain phone calls are very expensive if not in the same
city (local) or using local call to ISP.

very interesting thread.
