Dial-in to server ?! Anyone

[Livewire]

I have been checking out all these posts about multiple user configs and I was thinking? Some friends of mine are buying a DSL connection is it possible to setup a server at that location and dial-in. I was thinking about a low end Pentium with SCSI HD acting as a proxy!

Have the DSL connect to a NT server and setup Remote Access Service (RAS). Clients would dial in using Dial up networking (DUN). You would point to an IP in IE or Netcrash proxy settings that would point to a proxy address, usually an IP on the same network as the proxy.

Thanks ktwebb,
I would have been a sad soul had I not found this resource and the knowledge here

You are going to tie up their phone line dialing into them, but it is an interesting idea. You would need to setup the server with a modem to answer the phone. If you go with NT, I recommend you download the Routing and Remote access service update for NT. You can find it on Microsoft's website, someplace.

If I understand correctly that would necessitate a second line. I Was thinking that the server would increase access time. through the cache it held. Any ideas as to the overall speed for all concerned. Is NT my best choice? My original plans were for Linux possibily RH 6.0.
Thanks,
