Yes -- in TCP/IP but not PBEM.

I note that a fair number of people have had critical problems playing FOF in TCP/IP mode related to the Direct Play 4.0 architecture on which that feature is based, though other people seem to be able to play in this mode without any problems.  Unfortunately the problems are such, however, that we can't guarantee this feature will work for you.

Cool.  Well, we can always try it.  If I read the instructions correctly, you can switch back and forth between PBEM and Remote game, as long as there are to passwords.  Is this correct?

No, that wouldn't work. Thought I think PBEM can be converted to hotseat, if one knows how to monkey with the save files.

Hummm.  I thought the Appendix said you could switch from PBEM to Remote.  Guess I will have to try and see though now it sounds like it won't work.  [:@]
