Hi there,... I have an elderly PC still very serviceable running XP Pro. I want to access this machine using Remote Desktop
via a dial up connection. My objective is to access the broadband link on this machine, remotely from my laptop. The reason is I am paying for the broadband link anyway, and have free national calls into the telephone number connected, so
I think I might as well use this free dial up access for internet access and also accessing files on my home PC.
The modem on the home PC is a ESS Technology Inc ES56T-PI. In device manager the options for wake up machine, and
bring PC out of standby are enabled but nothing seems to happen on receipt of an incoming call. If necessary I will replace
the modem. I've tried to find the modem (and ESS Technology) on the net but with no conclusive success.
Any ideas or suggestions on my best way forward on this. Dial up access in is a must as I'm often in areas without hotspots,
internet cafes, libraries or people! just the occasional phone socket.
Thanks in hope... John
