Howdy. I've just set up an Appleshare server in our office, and I'm wondering if there are any PD remote access programs for AppleShare. What we want to do is enable a single remote machine connected by modem to transfer files to and from the AppleShare server. That's all. I know this can be done by adding a Shiva Netmodem to the network, but those things are expensive. Anyway, the phone system in our office is a Northern Telecom Meridien SL-1, which won't work with regular modems. The AppleShare server documentation mentions that it is possible to run one application on the server concurrently with the server software. So I'm looking for an application which will run concurrently with AppleSharem with the ability to answer incoming calls and perform file transfers. If anybody knows about such a thing, I'd be grateful for some info. One more thing: our server is a Classic (no snickers please; we just use it for text and DTP files). The Classic's software screen dimmer will not turn the screen completely off, so I'm worried about tube burn in the long run. Does anybody know if screen savers can be run safely with the AppleShare server software? Thanks a zillion, Rob Macfarlane The McGill Daily
