It would be fairly simple to do. Either by doing a routing rule in the
firewall to masquerade and nat packets out or by using a proxy server
like squid.<br>

<pre wrap="">I tested the Powertel CDMA modem yesterday (Huawei USB) and it blew
Econet's so-called 3G to pieces!
As the Powertel thing worked nicely with wvdial I wonder if anyone has
tried using an old PC in a network to share the connection? A friend of
mine would love that as his factory is covered by no other system
(except dialup that is).
I picture something like:
cable network and wireless router
linux-pc as gateway connecting to Powertel
and pc's and laptops hooking up via said linux gateway (possibly running
DHCP I suppose)
Anyone tried, anyone thinks is easy-peasy or has ideas?
