We use TOPS and Liaison for remote access to our LAN in the office. We used
Liaison over other products like Timbuktu be cause of cost and flexibility.
A node with call in ability (Half bridge) is $285 list and $165 mail order.
The node that can be called into is called Liaison. Also included is
LiaisonNet, the call out only (Personal Bridge) software. You are allowed
to copy and distribute any number of copies of LiaisonNet.
I would check it out. Liaison can also bridge two appletalk networks, printer
port to network A and the modem port to network B. That way you can break up
large networks and restrict access/resources by user. If you have Ethertalk
then you can have a 3 way bridge.
For more info check out the April issue of MacUser
