Thanks,
I'll try it as soon as I get IP masq working.
Now that I am able to make a dial up connection,
next weekends project is ip masquarading and
packet forwarding. so I can use the Linux machine
to connect the windows machines to the internet.
No more crawling under the desk to switch
phone lines!
Thanks
Linda Hanigan
