There is nothing _called_ dial-up networking. Anything you can do on a
network, you can do over a dial-up connection using PPP or SLIP,
including network filesystem mount. Between linux machines, you don't
need Samba, only NFS, which is pretty much a standard part of linux.
But if you just want to download files, why not use ftp? :-). There's a
PPP-HOWTO, and an NFS-HOWTO along with all the other HOWTO's.
metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO in case you don't have them handy.
