Wonder if this would work...

* System1 dials up and has a NIC connected to the LAN (or a crossover
cable to System2)

* run:  " echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward "
on the System1 to forward all traffic between the NIC and modem.

* Set the default gateway on System2 to the NIC's ip address on System1.

* surf away!


I'm probably missing something.  Hmm, gotta try this myself... now,
where is that modem...
