modem over internet?

Question

I am looking to dial into a computer (Host) that uses PC anywhere and a dial up modem through my DLS and broadband connection, rather than my dial up modem, is there any application out there that can do this through only one computer, and not needing to be installed on the host computer?

Answer 1

You say you have PCAnywhere on a machine with a dialup modem and you want to go via the web to look at the host ("dial into") with PCAnywhere from your DSL connection, (because there is no way to transfer off the internet to the phone lines without using another computer).
I looked at the directions for PCAnywhere (source) and this quote (below) from page 255 implies that you can't do it because you have to have the IP address for the Host which changes everytime you dial in (and it is not on a local subnet) . I may be wrong if you can get the current connect IP from the dialup (somebody reads it off the screen and calls you with it or e-mails it. Maybe.
"Ways to connect to a host through Web Remote
You can connect to a host computer in one of the following ways:
■ Select a host from the host list.
■ Manually enter the IP address or computer name of the host.
Connecting to a host in the host list
The Web Remote automatically searches your local subnet for TCP/IP host computers that are waiting for a connection. The Web Remote searches for hosts that are waiting on the default data port (5631).
You can also search other subnets for available hosts.
