People who are accustomed to operating systems like Unix are often
surprised to discover that Windows does not work the same way in this
respect: you can't dial it up and be greeted by login and password
prompts, and then a shell. Windows does not come with any such feature,
so you would need to add third-party software to allow remote
dialup text-based access. See:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/k95faq.html#dialin
for a brief overview. Kermit 95 includes a "host mode" system that lets
you set up a Windows PC for incoming calls, that presents callers with a
simple menu and the ability to upload and download files:

See the final section of the host mode documentation for details about
the problems of remote access to Windows:
