Re: 2 computers, 1 Dialup Account

[Tom W.]

Using proxy server software on os 8 or 9, only one computer signs on the 
net. It then acts as an internet server for other computers on the 
network. Instead of configuring the other computers to dial on 
themselves, you configure your browser, mail and ftp software to access 
the ip address of the gateway computer. It then requests web pages, 
downloads, mail, etc. and distributes it to the other computers on your 
network.

We once had 4-5 macs at home online in this way, and it works 
surprisingly well.

The Internet connection sharing would work, but you can't have two

Is there a way to have 2 computers access the same dial up account at
