	This may sound like a simple question but I need help anyway.
	Can people please tell me how I can set up my personal computer
	so I can phone it from the office.  I am interested in the 
	different methods used for different micros so I am not going
	to mention that I have an IBM XT.

	On the back of the micro is an RS232 interface which connects
	to a Racal Vadic 300/1200 bps modem.  It works fine for calling
	out bu I do not see how to go the other way.  There is a command
	built in to the operating system so change to an auxiliary console,
	is that the way to do it?  Do micros like the Apple have a
	similar command?

	I expect quite a few responses so please mail your answer to
	me and I shall post a summary article to the network.

	Thank you for you time, patience and assistance.
