- Hmmm. A friend of mine (running FreeBSD) has three computers connected and
- uses one of them to connect to his (and my) ISP. Then from this machine and
- any of the others he can access the net. Just on the one account. What he did
- was create a small local net with it's own IP numbers (I believe using the
- 192.168.x.x as that seems to be resreved for something like this) Then on the
- one machine connected to teh net, the stuff is neatly redirected. I can't
- really imagine AmiTCP or AS225 not being able to do something similar. But
- to do it seems to take intimate knwledge of TCP/IP.
-
- Once FreeBSD 21. comes out, I'll invite him over and see if I can't set up
- something similar with my Amiga's and use a PC as the connection.
-
- Take care,
