Providing dial-in access to your computer
In addition to using your modem to connect to other computers or networks, you can use it to give yourself or others remote access to your computer.
When another user is connected, they can access shared files as if you were both connected to the same local network. The same file and user access privileges apply.

If your computer is also connected to a local network:
You can grant a dial-in user access to the network:
* Open the Remote Access control panel, open the RemoteAccess menu and choose the Answering command, then select "Allow access to entire network."
Any Mac on the network with File Sharing turned on will be available via the modem connection, provided that the option to allow access to the entire network is selected. This might also give you access to the greater Internet if you are using a router.
I forgot to mention this:
On the Mac placing the call (the one in the field), you need to set AppleTalk to "Remote Only". Thereafter, you can use AppleShare in the Chooser to view your Mac network as you normally would if you had a direct connection.
