We just received the latest version of WhiteKnight (was RedRyder) and it
came with a new program from Scott Watson called "Okyto" (the name is
some permutation of Tokyo for some obscure reason).  This is JUST what
you want!  Before you leave at night, you set your Mac up to "accept a
connection", then go home and dial.  It has all kinds of protection to
keep "others" from doing the same.  A neat tool that does no fancy stuff
(no terminal emulation, etc) but just moving files from mac to mac.

I think Okyto is being offered for $39.95 from FreeSoft:
  FreeSoft
  150 Hickory Dr. 
  Beaver Falls, PA 15010 
  (412) 846-2700

LEGAL note: the application you describe would require you buy TWO
copies of Okyto, one to run on each machine.  Talk to the FreeSoft
people and see what kind of "quantity" deal they can offer.
