I am one of those poor, hapless dial-up folks who don't have a 24/7, static ip connectiion to the Net. However, occasions have arisen where I would like to access a file on my box at home when I am elsewhere. Once, long ago, I thought I saw a HOWTO that described how to set up something like mgetty so that I could, from a remote phone, dial my home phone; after a certain number of rings, the modem would kick in with voice mail (it has voice mail capabilities, I just have not gotten around to setting it up) and start the usual "Please leave a message" shpeal. I would then punch in couple of numbers as a password, which would instruct the computer to first disconnect the line, wait a couple of seconds for the line to clear (the modem doesn't seem to disconnect instantaneously, at least with PPP), then dial-up my ISP, wait until it connects, and then on connect it would email me the dynamic ip for me to connect to. Has anyone done something like this or know where I can find out how to do it? TIA, :Peter
