I am able to dial-in from one Mac to another (using OS 9, the built-in server and client). Ah, catch-22! (That's some catch, that catch-22). Digital Radar, as has been pointed out already by Brian, won't work under 9.x. That's not a problem if you go with EvoCam (CoolCam). It's $20 shareware

Not anymore. ARA Client/Server is now implemented in the Remote Access control panel under OS 9 (and possibly 8.5+). Well, a stripped down version of ARA Server, anyway, but good enough for a single user. I'm pretty sure the _server_ feature is only in 9. And he's 8.6 on the 3400 at this
