As a temporary setup, I'm trying to see if I can network the Linux desktop
machine and my Win95 notebook without network cards (Using SLIP or PPP). I
would just get the net cards, however when I return to school in September
I'll need NICs for the new on-campus network, and other than the fact that
they use TP connectors I know nothing about the network there (Speed,
etc.), so I can't have a guarantee that the NICs I get now will work with
that same net.
My problem seems to be that Windows can't handle more than one
"Dial-Up-Networking" connection at a time; is there a workaround for this?
(Yes, I know this would be more suited in comp.os.windows or something). I
would use the Linux box for ip-masq and such, however the modem in it (Zoom
33.6 PlugAndPray) isn't detected by Linux, Zoom's "Easy-to-use DOS PnP
Program" doesn't detect any Zoom modems in the computer (I _still_ havn't
figured that one out yet), and the last time I tried the PnP stuff for
Linux it wasn't working too well.
If anyone has an idea for me, even if it's just bite the bullet and buy
some NICs and hope they're fast enough for the net at school, I'd
appreciate it. TIA...
