What is NetLink Remote?

        NetLink Remote is a network extension that allows you to use
AppleTalk over a modem. When you connect with NetLink Remote, you can do
anthing that is possible when on a local AppleTalk network. You can use
AppleShare to work with remote files, play AppleTalk only games like
Marathon and F/A-18 Hornet, or use any other software that supports
AppleTalk networking.

        NetLink Remote was written as an alternative to Apple's ARA
software which was too expensive for most individuals and too slow for
demanding games like Marathon. NetLink Remote's high speed modem protocol
has been optimized for realtime games and in most cases is much faster than
the built in modem support provided by some games. NetLink is also great
for managing files on a remote system. Using AppleShare, the remote volume
can show up on your desktop and be used like a local drive.
