Thanks for your advice.
This is exactly what I am planning to do.
But since I have no knowledge in remote access and modems, I am finding
getting information quite hard. I dont mind searching but I need help in
finding what I need to know!!

My plan is for clients to be able to dial in to a single modem and machine,
send a command over to the remote machine, remote machine processes this
command and sends back a dataset of information from the database.

>From what you have told me, it is possible to do this?

I know how to query the database and get information out, as I have written
a database component dll in C# which will do all the queries and returns a
dataset. But I need information on how I am able to write a simple client
side app which dials into a remote machine, passing a command which the
remote machine process, calls the database dll and sends back to the client
the dataset.

Thanks for all your help!!!!
