Let me get this right. You want to internet connect to a XPpro
computer that is disconnected from the internet?
How is this computer to know someone wants it on line NOW?

PC Anywhere can do Modem-modem, TCP/IP to TCP/IP and a bunch of
others.
The kicker is that both ends need to use the same method of
connection. You can use a DSL connection to connect a Modem CONNECTED
using PPOE *IF* you know it's IP address. Notice, I said *connected*.

I guess you could use some convoluted scheme where you placed a modem
cal that fired off a "connect to the internet" session as soon as the
call terminated, allowing a cheaper? IP connection to be established.

Sounds fragile to me.
