Hehehe... You'll need to take a trip to the Linux Documentation Project:
http://metalab.unc.edu/LDP/
And check out the docs there. I believe you'll be looking for something
called Samba that will do that (the drive mapping stuff). The dialup
stuff depends on your distribution.

Exactly. That's why I typically don't read something before I do it.
I'll never remember. I will only learn something if it is relevant to
something that I'm doing -- then I'll remember it (for the most part)
forever.
