Hi there
I am very new to the area of Remote access and am wondering where to start to solve the following problem. I have 4 pc's spread apart around the country. At present these machines have no modems, LAN cards or Remote Access software. I would like to network the machines together somehow around a central server i.e. connect to central server at a predefined time and download some data. Ideally I would also like to be able to use PC Anywhere or similar to control the machines remotely. I have considered the option of schedulng tasks to ftp the data from a web server which would work fine but doesn't help with the Remote Control part. Oh yeah and I would like to do this as cheaply as possible or free even....
Any ideas are most welcome.
Cheers
