You can't share a single dialup connection using two modems. The way you share a modem-based dialup connection is to have one machine (Machine A) connected to the internet via dialup and also connected to the other iMac (Machine B) via ethernet. Then Machine A must be configured to "share" the internet connection (via a proxy, for example) and Machine B then points to Machine A [over the ethernet connection] to get onto the internet... "Internet" --->>DIALUP--->> "Machine A" -->> [Proxy] -->>ETHERNET>>-- "Machine B" Not sure what facilities are available on OS X to set up a proxy, but I'm sure it can be done. // CHRIS -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
