I used to use Exceed. It works over IP also. When you're dialing into the 
network are you not using PPP or SLIP (cough) or some other  protocol which 
assigns you an IP address?

If you're looking for easy and command-line based, try using the "setup" 
command on RH boxes. It's a nice menu driven application which will allow a 
person to configure printers and networks, etc.

Good luck.
