[comp.sys.mac.programmer] Software to access a hard disk via modem?

busey@blake.u.washington.edu (Thomas Busey) (09/07/90)

Does anyone out there in NetLand know of a software package that would
answer the modem and allow remote users the ability to upload and download
files from the hard disk?  I don't need extensive stuff such as user logons
and directory protection, just something quick and dirty for my own 
personal use.

Thanks.

This note belongs more to comp.sys.mac.{wanted, comm, apps} than where it
was sent, and since nobody answered it that I saw, here's my reply:

I pulled MultiXferV03a2 off the first Syquest cartridge I looked at - this
is dated October 1989 and I seem to remember a later version - look in
Sumex or Listserv@ricevm1.rice.edu <--that's a 'one' not an 'ell'.

So I binhexed it and mailed it to you.  Whatta deal:  as I remember it can
run unattended.

There are a couple of others but I shan't waste time looking or reminiscing.
