Hi,
	Is it possible to perform client-server computing over a dial-up line?
If yes, I would like to know if there is any software that supports this and where to obtain it.

	Thanks a million for your help.

There exist TCP/IP protocols for dial line operation, namely SLIP
and PPP. So, since TCP/IP higher layer functions like Telnet and
FTP are client/sever, then I'd say any client/server application
using TCP/IP (eg. TCP) transport could operate over a dial connection
via SLIP or PPP.

Your question is pretty broad. The answer is yes. Specifically,
TCP/IP SLIP would be one way to do it. No doubt there are others.
