It's me again.  I would like to be able to call my home computer from work
and drop to a shell.  Basically, the equivalent to telneting directly to
the home machine but by calling it through the modem.  Is there a daemon
I need to install inorder for it to monitor the modem?  Maybe a nice
program... not a bbs though (unless it lets you drop to a shell).
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, and thank you in advance!
