Connecting two computers. -Reply

[AMIT KUCHERIA <AK-IBM@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

you'd have to configure dial-up connections on both your PCs- that will
require some work with /etc/inittab. This, i believe was covered by PCQ
in the March issue itself.
There might me a replacement for mgetty (or probably mgetty itself might
work !)

BTW. a couple of weeks back i had read about some great telephony
implementations on slashdot.org. Try searching thru the archives of 'ask
slashdot'. There were instances of people having converted their linux
m/cs to answering m/cs etc...

ciao,
amit

I have two standalone machines, one at home one at work. Both are dual
boot
rhl 5.2 & win95. Both have a modem.

I need to connect these two so that I can access the files of each on the
other, preferably using linux. My clinic is a couple of km from my
residence, so I think I'll have to use the telephone lines. Can I use ftp?
do I use the anonftp package ? if yes, how ? there's no man page for
anonftp though glint shows that it is present on the machine.

pointers, urls, detailed instructions welcome.

thanx,

shahrukh.
