OK.  Thanks.  I'll look into that.  Do you have URLs for the HOWTOs or
other docs?

One possible kink is that the home computer is behind a hardware
firewall which lets no one in.  I suppose if I use NFS or AFS I'll
have to keep the files on another computer, one accessible to the
internet, and hence with less stringent security, no?
