you would need some modem sharing software that is Unix friendly,I know
of several that will share modem that is on a windows box,,but it
requires you to load software on the client side,,and they only support
M$ stuff,,I dont know of any that allow anyone to use the
connection,,,,the best thing to do is do this the other way around

ie
win98------>Linux------->modem------>internet

you can set this up using diald and IP forwarding/masquerading
Hope this helps

I used a program called wingate to set up the 98 box as a proxy. then
i configured netscape on my linux box to use the ip of my 98 "proxy",
and i was outbound. you can download wingate, can't remember the url
though
good luck

This can be done, but not without getting additional software for
the Win98 box. If you do have the choice, put the modem onto
the Linux box and have your Win98 box going through the Linux
system instead (with IP-forwarding/IP-masquerading) . If the present
setup can't be changed, you'll need to get a proxy for the Win98 box
since Win9* doesn't do routing/forwarding at all.

You can use Sambar-Proxy-Server for Windows for this purpose. It's free of
charge and has for configuration tasks a sophisticated web-interface (you
can setup and monitor your proxy from any computer on your LAN). It also can
forward mail and news. For further informations look at
