Win2000Prof Networking

[pbarr]

I want to connect two PC's both with Win2000Prof to do file transfers over a standard phone line ( the remote end has no user present so can not be over the internet). This must be possible with dial up networking on one end but how do I set up the other end to act as a file server and accept an incoming connection?

any help would be appreciated especially the terminology so that I can search the forums.

thanks

Hyperterminal will do it, but unless you have the "pro" version it's hard to set it up to accept incoming calls.

PCanywhere will do what you want too.

costs $100 is there not a way to do this without buying extra software?
