Dave, could You, please, specify, what is Your intended goal? Since Dave is building machines for other clients, I understand that "maintenance" in this case is connecting to a particular Linux PC just in case some trouble emerge. And that might need not only control over EMC2, but control over all the PC - to be able to open and check config files, g-code files or anything else. Target PC does not necessarily need to be connected to LAN and served by DSL, 3G mobile network speeds would be totally sufficient. I have video surveilance in my workshop and the only option for internet connection there is mobile broadband. So I have 3G router with LAN port and I also have fixed IP for that SIM card. I do not know, if fixed IP is mandatory, but mobile network is totally suitable for these things. I can connect remotely to DVR (which is running some special sort of Linux actually) and check, what is going on at the premises any time.
