Re: Want direct dialup access to my LAN

here's a couple of other technologies...

this requires that your host computer be connected to the Internet, waiting,

Other versions of "Remote Access & Control" software will require the
software be installed
at both Host and Client to achieve the dial-out and auto-answer functions +
the desktop control.
Some versions may not work on Win98

WinXP has a "hosting" feature called Remote Desktop Connection,
but I believe that only the XP/pro version has it as a "host" function.
Across my test LAN, I can connect from my test Win98 desktop to my test
XP/pro laptop.
However, it relies on the computers already being connected via some TCP/IP
connection.

As you keep searching for some alternative to your "camera viewing"
challenge,
remember there are layers to the solution>

1 - the computers must be somehow physically connected (LAN, Internet,
dialup, etc)
2 - once connected, they must share a common software remote access
host/client technology
3 - that remote access technology must have the control or commands to allow
your solution to work.
4 - given all the enabled communications, your specific "application" must
be able to work

Since in all your postings, you've never really mentioned "how" you view
your cameras,
or why you say things are "slow" - then any solution is pretty much
arbitrary.

If you can't answer each series of "communication layer" questions
completely,
then the next layer has no chance of working...

Well, yesterday I got it to work with no 3rd party SW using a direct
dial up connection from one WinXP computer to another. The camera
scanner box is connected to a LAN via a Linksys router. So my mission
is accomplished with no expensive HW, SW or phone connections.
I really do appreciate all the help from everyone on this group.
And sorry for my ideas bouncing around while I sorted out all the
possibilities.
