Scott Watson's Okyto program will allow you to do this.  (He gives
this program away for free when you purchase [or upgrade to] White
Knight.)  Okyto is a multichannel file transfer program similar to the
shareware programs MCS and MultiXfer; it lets you transfer files
between two Macs over a modem link.  The file transfers occur
simultaneously in both directions; there's also a "chat" channel that
lets the two users type messages to each other while the transfer is
in progress.  Okyto also has a mode where you can leave one Mac in a
unattended "server" state; the remote Mac can call up the server Mac,
browse through its directories in a SFGetFile-like manner, and
retrieve files.

You can probably also do this using Timbuktu Remote.  It's more
expensive, but you also get the screen-sharing capabilities of
Timbuktu...
