What I would do is to set up the system with the modem connection as a
PPP server to the other system, using the pppd to initiate the two
connections, and setting the defaultroute of the second system to the
first system. I am not altogether sure as to how to set up the PPP
server, or unless you have a static IP, how you are going to get the
two systems to communicate when connected to the 'net, but I'm sure
you can find some way to do it if you read the "Network
Administrator's Guide". It's at sunsite in:
/pub/Linux/doc/linux-doc-project/nag...
I think.
It's a VERY usefull doc, and I learned a great many things from it.
But as for finding your specific problem in there, it's a 1000+ page
book, so I'll leave that up to you. :-)
