bwk@mbunix.mitre.org (Barry W. Kort) writes about Timbuktu Remote
being a dial-in net access solution.

TB2/R will let you call up a Mac that has a modem and control that Mac
as if you were controlling it via Timbuktu. You would be using the
office Mac, remote controlled, to access your net.

Infosphere's Liaison can use a Mac to run a dial-in connection to the
net. One Mac, one modem, and anyone who dials in gets at the net
directly. The Liaison Mac doesn't even have to be dedicated. This
appears to me as the most cost effective solution; you can even use
the Liaison Mac as a router and net dial-in simultaneously.

Take a look at Shiva's products as well, they have some that'll let
you dial-in to your net, too.
