George,
Open the Mac OS Help ("Help Viewer") in OS 9. Type in "remote access" in the search field. Look around a bit and you'll see:
Providing dial-in access to your computer
In addition to using your modem to connect to other computers or networks, you can use it to give yourself or others remote access to your computer.
When another user is connected, they can access shared files as if you were both connected to the same local network. The same file and user access privileges apply.
To enable dial-in access: 1 If necessary, set up your dialup modem. 2 Open the Remote Access control panel. 3 Open the RemoteAccess menu and choose Answering. 4 Select the Answer Calls option.
To provide dial-in access for a specific user: 1 Open the File Sharing control panel and click the Users & Groups tab. 2 Select the user and click Open. 3 Open the Show pop-up menu and choose Remote Access. 4 Select "Allow user to dial in to this computer."
If your computer is also connected to a local network:
You can grant a dial-in user access to the network:
* Open the Remote Access control panel, open the RemoteAccess menu and choose the Answering command, then select "Allow access to entire network."
Any Mac on the network with File Sharing turned on will be available via the modem connection, provided that the option to allow access to the entire network is selected. This might also give you access to the greater Internet if you are using a router.
Peace, Drew
