| | | I don't know about phone plans elsewhere in the US, but at my house we pay a flat fee for unlimited local calling = no big phone bill for long connection. Of course you can route it. The easiest way might be to have whatever computer it's connected bridge the dial-up and ethernet connections, and then share the dial-up on the ethernet, and just use a hub, or a router with DHCP disabled. I know you can do this in WinXP, OSX, and linux, some easier then others... it will be slow though, and a pain in the ass if you are using free AOL minutes cd's - last time I heard of somebody using them (years ago), they only lasted a month, and if you kept using them, they'd start billing you with little warning, and you could only do the offer once from the same credit card.

| | | The best thing would be to pay 10-20$ a month for an unlimited 56k DialUp service, a provider in your area code should be easy to find. Then you can use a normal router with a modem, be it a normal old computer or, literally, a combined modem/router for the phone line. It goes without saying that a router without a phone line modem is useless for you. www.ipcop.org has good modem support Listed above are cards that are known to work with IPCop. However, any 'hardware' based modem should work (which includes most ISA card modems). 'Winmodems' or 'software' modems will not work. USB based modems or serial modems should work. |
Most other Linuxes should be the same. The only other one I'd really recommend is http://www.zelow.no/floppyfw/ (DialUp HOWTO - http://www.zelow.n...wto-ppp-dialup.txt)
