Opinions needed on RAS

Ok, here is the situation. The network I am referng to is NT 4. My boss wants me to set up remote access service for a few of our employees. Our budget is really tight and I was wanting to avoid purchasing another computer just for this purpose.

Here is my question: Would it be a bad idea to just put a modem in our Backup Domain Controller and run RAS on it instead of setting up a machine just for that purpose only?

Any input would be helpful and much appreciated.
 
check your resource utilization - disk/mem/proc.

if you have plenty of headroom then by all means load it up. Be carefull though, as soon as one person has remote access EVERY SINGLE person will NEED it as well. Then you'll have to worry about another machine and dial pool or better yet a cisco or nortel COMM server. IMHO, NT servers make very poor RAS servers past a few modems.
