RemotaSilo Configuration with Remote
Access
This configuration requires that the local host computer and the remote
computer are both loaded with the same remote access application,
and that both are equipped with modems. The remote access
application allows the user to transfer control from the local Host
computer to the remote computer and visa versa. Once the control has
been transferred to the remote computer, it becomes a temporary host.
