I have a peer-to-peer network hooked up in my apartment between 2 computers
running Win95. However, I can't share my modem over this. I also run Linux
on my machine and was wondering if there is a way to allow my roommate's
computer to use my modem. For example, I want my computer to dial into my
ISP. Then, I would like the second computer to be able to telnet out
through my computer. Is there a way to do this? Is there a HOWTO or FAQ on it?
2nd computer --> ethernet --> Linux computer --> ISP (PPP) --> internet
Thanks for your time.
