Thank you for writing back. Here is my desired setup minus the unimportant
stuff.
2 Linux boxes (w and w/o modem)
let w/ modem=Phineas
Let w/o modem=Yancy
Yancy:
Kernel 2.0 (or latest stable release)
1 Courier modem
Dial up connection to isp w/ ppp (hopefully logining in w/ chap)
***Dynamic IP***
1 ethernet card
Phineas:
Kernel 2.0 (or latest stable release)
1 ethernet card
I want them to both be connected to the net. The big questions are how do I
do it? What about dynamic ip? And which computer should I use for Yancy and
Phineas. I have one high end and one low end machine...
