Major ambition. This _can_ be done, but I have never done it... Look for the port of 'socks' on freefall:/pub/FreeBSD/incoming. 'socks' is what's known as a 'proxy' server. It sits, as a daemon, on the machine with the dialup and spoofs the internet that all the packets are from the dial-up machine, while keeping track of the real host making the connection. I'm assured it works fine, but I haven't tried it yet. Best of luck! John -- Beavis and Butt-Head; Vladimir and Estragon for the '90s. finger jbrann@panix.com for pgp public key
