I got the same thing working at my place. I have a 486DX2 33 with 5MB of
Ram. The only problem was to get linux on it with that low on RAM.
My Box dials into yale, whenever it gets a request of any of the
machines (win3.11, win95, linux, win98) I guess we really have all OS's
in our house.
I can forward you the files and howto's I used.
We all hang on one 5 port HUB. Great to play StarCraft and Duke Nukem
against roommates. Next step will be A-DSL as soon as SNET get back in
touch.
have fun
