Can I use Samba with dial-up?
I have to connect to a client through their Win/NT network to get to their
Unix machine. They want me to use Dial-Up Adapter from Win95, but this means
that I have to drop all other useful work while I boot up that abomination.
I can't make it work anyway, and as usual with MS stuff I can't find out
what is going on.
Can I use Samba to dial out on a modem and connect to their network? I can
see how to use Samba across a network, but not how to use it with a direct
dial-up connection.
Since I actually want to talk to a Unix machine, can I do without Samba
altogether?
Does MS Dial-up Adapter use ppp?
If so, what kind of negotiation does it do? (I'm sure the customer won't
know.)
Is it possible to telnet through such a connection to the network beyond?
