Yes! I use it on my system here. My Win3.11 machine acts basically as it did with the modem in it, but all my systems can access at the same time. I have a feeling that the Win3.11 machine responds faster, as recieving one fast packet over ethernet, rather than recieving lots of bytes over modem and then having to put together a SLIP packet would be less processor intensive??? Anyway, I recommend IP Masquerading, You need to recompile your kernel though, and add IP_MASQ. After compilation, you type two lines, to set it up and you're away!!! I was thinking it would be difficult, but just I just followed the HOWTO, and it was very easy!! Hope this helps, Tim Customer: "I'm using Windows 95" Tech Support: "Yes..."
