AppleTalk Remote Access lets you communicate with another Macintosh or an AppleTalk network over standard telephone lines. For example, you can log on to your Macintosh at work while you're at home.

This document shows you how to install AppleTalk Remote Access and use it with a call-back system (you call the phone number of the AppleTalk Remote Access server, and it calls you back at a predetermined phone number).

• An internal or external hard drive.
• System software version 7.0 or later.
• File Sharing turned on. See System 7 File Sharing if you need instructions. *
• A modem compatible with AppleTalk Remote Access. Refer to the AppleTalk Remote Access User's Guide for a list of compatible modems. Refer to your modem's manual for setup instructions.
• AppleTalk Remote Access software, comes on 800K disks or 1.44MB disks:
  • - Two 800K disks titled Installer Disk 1 and Installer Disk 2.
  • - One 1.44 MB (high-density or FDHD) disk titled Installer.
• Phone number from which you'll be calling (give this to the server administrator).

• User name
