98 to 98/ME w/o internet, a couple of miles apart

G'day,

I'm looking for a site for info. I've Googled, I don't seem to pare
down the selection.

A buddy wants to access his home comp from his office. They're either
both W98 or one's wME. No security issues on either end. He's a one man
shop.

He just wants to access the home computer and maybe the other way
around. No internet access is wanted. Both computers are in the same
area code, it's all local phone access. There's a modem on each end, no
network cards, routers. Probably not even a firewall (s/w).

If someone has a site they like that can explain it, I'd appreciate it.

I used to use it to remote control a computer at work from home , just a
phone line and modems (although it can be configured a number of ways)

Thanks again.

In Control Panel-Add/Remove Programs-Windows Setup-Communications
there is a Dial-Up Server (W98), which is the logical complement of
Dial-Up Networking.

if you have modem installed , dial-up networking is automatically installed
.....

when you install PCanywhere , you set the modem/PCanywhere client to listen
for the phone ...then you go home and dial the modem with pcanywhere ,
connect , login and you see your computer at work :

have fun!

The point is now perhaps a similar request will be archived on Google.
Using the word "networking" in a querry got me (1M hits) to a few top
networking "how-to" sites. But no one mentioned it. And to a few
networking forums, no one mentioned it. A few people said it couldn't
be done.

The biggest point was I didn't want to instruct someone how to set up a
firewall(s) and maintain them. On two machines - at that.

I spent perhaps 4-5 hours finding the answer.
