Hello,
Can I set OSX to receive a network connection through dial-up for file sharing purposes? Under OS 9 you use to be able to set the computer to answer the phone and connect via ppp from one computer to the other using Apple Remote Access. Under OSX there doesn't seem to be an option to allow another mac to dial into it. I know you can use file sharing over the internet but that requires both computers to be connected to the internet at the same time and to know each computers IP number (using dial up internet this changes all the time). Is there a program for OS X or a terminal command that will enable dial in access for file transfers between two computers running Mac OSX?
I was in contact with apple and they said it could be done using an Airport base station at one end, but the organisation I work with is a charity, if possible I am after a cheaper solution.
