thanks i know how to connect via the net but it is a hassle every time finding his ip address since he is dialup (i dont think he would want to run DNS) and about the linux install cds i have them but the software i use for work is only Micro$oft compatible so not really an option even though on my work station i do run dual boot with redhat:-)

This is where stuiff like DynDNS comes in (see just abut every other posting to this list). You can actually connect the computers directory to each other with two modems, but these days _everyone_ seems to be connected to the net anyway.
