I suppose that's an option, although it would play havoc with Forte
Agent, etc... maybe.
I can't help but think there's another more specific solution though.
Thanks.

Under Win98, (I forget the exact wording) set your internet connection
to not
automatically use the dial up connection. You could set it to try the
lan.
(Using, IE 4 and above, it's easy. from the menu: view->internet options
->connections. Then select Connect to the internet through the lan)
Then you would manually start your dialup connection when you want to
get to the
"outside".

That's what I thought. I'm not running DNS on my home network and it
seems to run fine, with one exception:
When I telnet from my Win98 machine (which has a modem) to the Linux
server, the 98 machine wants to dial my ISP to reach it via the
internet. If I cancel the dialout, the telnet session proceeds normally
over my LAN.
Anybody have any suggestions?
I'm using 10.x.x.x as my IP address series. Should it be 192.168.x.x
instead?
Thanks.

I do just fine without running DNS, not even a chachign name server.
Just
use a hosts file on you linux box, and point all the machines to your
isp's DNS servers
