I am looking for a simple poor man's solution and not an elaborate big business set-up....
This is the situation: We have a Samba server (Slackware with kernel 2.2.17) which shares files including MS Office, graphics, mp3s, etc over several win9x clients in the office. This has been running smoothly for a few years now. Now there are instances where I would like to access these files from an outside location -- say a branch office or from home -- with most likely a win9x box with a modem over a land-line phone line. The server in the office can have a modem attached directly to it, or be attached to a "gateway/router" box which in turn has a modem attached to it. I have read the howtos and searched the net but have not been able to find anything useful. Unless I missed something, the Dial-in howto is about dialling in to share internet connection at the head office, while the VPN howto is somewhat what I want but has to do with making connection through the internet. Any suggestions, please?
