If you have a modem, you can
use Apple Remote Access to connect to another computer on an
AppleTalk network. Once you've connected to that computer,
you can use any network devices connected to it as well.
For example, you could connect to your
computer at work, copy a file from it to your computer at
home, make changes to it, and then print the file on your
LaserWriter at work. If your office network is connected to
the Internet, you can connect to the Internet from home by
connecting to your office network with ARA.
The Apple Remote Access software included
with the Mac OS is client software. You use the client
software to connect to other computers. However, the
computer you're connecting to needs to have ARA server
software installed. Once you're connected, you then have
access to any computer on the server's network. You can
obtain the server software from any Apple-authorized
dealer.
