#1 Yes you can telnet and ftp to a pc on a dial up connection. I would suggest you go to: www.justlinux.com or one of the similar sites and look into dns forwarding service. You install a simple little perl script and run it when you log on and it references a sub-domain to your current IP so your machine can be found with a simple name.
Thanks Darren. I have already set it up, but I had a feeling that the problem was another because before doing it I tried: anovo@friedman anovo > telnet 130.126.xx.xxx Trying 130.126.xx.xxx... telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused After setting it up at justlinux.com, I tried: [anovo@galton anovo]$ telnet xxxxxxx.penguinpowered.com Trying 130.126.xx.xxx... telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused I believe I need to change some permissions, hosts.allow or something in the neighborhood. Can you or someone else point me out in the right track.
