Your home PC is on the Internet but the only way to reach the QNX PC
is by dialing it directly. That means you have to use your Telnet
client (or SSH or whatever) to access some device that will place a call
on your behalf. Conceptually it's simple. For example, you could Telnet
to a UNIX computer somewhere that has a dialout modem, and then you could
use C-Kermit on the UNIX computer to dial your QNX PC.
In practice, this costs somebody (other than you) money, so you're not
going to find such services available waiting for people to use them,
unless the users are willing to pay.
The obvious question is: if you can put your home PC on the Internet,
why can't you put the QNX PC on the Internet too, the same way?
