OK here's an update on this one. Hopfully not to many are thinking about the last one. I got the modem to anser and conect with PPP. I had to inter the IP in win95 before it would work. I then proseded to telnet the the debian box. I loged in and had a victory dance. However I soon discovered that I cannot conect to anything but the linux box itself. The Box has an ethernet conection to the internet and I can't conect to it through the box. Is theire something simple I have missed. Do I need to install some kind of routing package? Do I need to modfyf something in my dialup networking. Thanks again to all who helped. Thanks ( On Wed, 23 Apr 1997, LinuxBOX wrote:
