Virtual dial-up

Hi, From time to time I have to access remote equipment using dial-up. I have seen software available that emulates modems and allows you to connect over the net instead (TCP/IP) but it's usually only for an instance where you can put the software onto the machines at either end of the tunnel.

Hi,

From time to time I have to access remote equipment using dial-up. I have seen software available that emulates modems and allows you to connect over the net instead (TCP/IP) but it's usually only for an instance where you can put the software onto the machines at either end of the tunnel.

What I would like is to put this virtual modem onto my laptop only and "dial-in" over the net to the remote far end which is still running as it is now in standard config.

The remote end is a GSM SIM which I dial to get access to the remote equipment.

Anyone know if this acan be done? It's not the cost of the calls or anything I'm trying to avoid it's the hassle of trying ot source a phone line for hte laptop whenever I need to dial-in. (I'm on the road a lot)

Another solution which would help would be a good ATA terminal that works with different ISP's / operators etc...... Not as handy but if I knew i could get dialling through it once I got a net connection it wouldn't be as bad.

Regards.

PS not sure if it should be posted here or in Net/Coms
