remote access for a few PC's...

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

We have a wireless link between our administration offices (where the
servers are located) and our warehouse/Factory. The two are separated by
about a mile in total. We have had recent problems with our wireless and
have been tasked to coming up with a plan to ensure that the workers at the
factory can still access critical data that resides on our servers if/when
we have another wireless outage.

Implementation of a T1 connection is too expensive for the amount of time it
would actually be used and we are not in an area that has any other form of
high speed services such as DSL where we could configure a VPN. Wireless and
dial-up are the onl;y options we have - so when wireless is down, dial-up is
it !!

What I would like to do is to implement two modems (network modems) one at
each location. Have one location dial up the other and allow a dial-up
connection so as to allow remote desktop connections to our terminal servers
for the remote users... A dial-up Term Serv connection is actually not that
bad to work with - unlike a dial-up VPN connection which always sucks at
best.

My question is this. If I purchase two network modems to enable this, what
kind of setup needs to be done on the computers at the remote locations to
be able to "see" the networks at each end once the modems are talking to
each other, if any? I assume that if both modems are configured with static
IP's on the same subnet as the rest of the LAN devices, it should be
seemless that they will see the rest of our network once connected...

Is my assumption correct? Any help in this matter would be most appreciated!

Thanks,

Brad
