Yes! I use it on my system here. My Win3.11 machine acts basically as it
did with the modem in it, but all my systems can access at the same time.
I have a feeling that the Win3.11 machine responds faster, as recieving
one fast packet over ethernet, rather than recieving lots of bytes over
modem and then having to put together a SLIP packet would be less
processor intensive???
Anyway, I recommend IP Masquerading, You need to recompile your kernel
though, and add IP_MASQ. After compilation, you type two lines, to set it
up and you're away!!! I was thinking it would be difficult, but just I
just followed the HOWTO, and it was very easy!!
Hope this helps,
