There are essentially 2 types of solution. 

The first involves having an extra machine with modem on the network.
This runs a program like Carbon Copy or PC-Anywhere. The remote user
must also have a copy of the package and a modem. He then dials the
host machine, and establishes a link. Essentially. keystrokes and
screen updates are exchanged. The problem with this is that you end
up using 2 machines for 1 session.

The alternative solution is products along the line of one produced
by Novell. This consists a unit containing a number of modems and
a 386 machine which can emulate multiple 8086 sessions. For a large
number of connections, this is a tidier solution. I beleive that
you can also use a pd package like PC-PLUS at the remote end.
