I've managed to install MkLinux on a Performa 6115CD.
I have a small network that also includes a beige G3 and an iMac DV SE.
What I want to do is get the Performa online using the same DSL line
that the other computers use.
Is that possible?
A linux fan I know doubts it, but is unfamiliar with linux on Macs.
Has anybody ever done this?

Cheese Dog,
The only out-of-the-box solutions I know of are Intel-based, but this is basically a firewall/router
issue, and quite simple. The functions needed, ipchains and IP forwarding, are there in PPC linux. One machine talks to the DSL modem, and forwards packets to the rest of the network. The router box usually needs 2 NICs, but I read recently of a Sparc guy who uses IP aliasing to get by with one interface.
Check out the IP Masquerade HOWTO, and the ipchains howto & homepage.

I have the DSL modem plugged right into the ethernet hub. I know you're not supposed to do it that way, but I've not installed the other card anywhere yet. So I believe it's just a matter of configuration for the MkLinux box. I can see it on the Network, and it can ping...
I'm close. but this command line configuration is kinda tough for me.
