"On-Demand" Server?

Hello! I was wondering if I could do a nice thing: install a modem on a server here in my office, call by phone wherever I am that server, hang up, and have the machine call me back, establishing in this way a reliable and quite useful (I'd be plugged in my working net) connection.

If I remember correctly, which I'm not sure of, there's a way, but...
Any ideas/infos?

RAS does have call back functionality, but I am not certain as to how it's setup, or if it supports caller ID. The settings that I have seen for call back are generally static; you enter a phone number that the server will always call back to when it receives a call. This system controls who can call in by making sure that the call source location is approved.
