I would like to be able to work on files, etc. stored on the PC in my
office at work whilst I am home at night or at the weekend.  I cannot
dial from home to work since there is no direct line to my PC - I
would have to go through the swirchboard, which is not available at
those times.

Is there any way I can have my office PC, set up as a host computer,
dial my home number at a set time and make a connection to my home PC?

I know the simple answer is to get a direct line at work, but that's
not possible at the present time.

Thanks for any suggestions,
