Get the dialup pc working properly, as a dialup by itself.
Then get the networking working, so all the Pcs on the lan see each other.
Then activate connection sharing.
'Connection sharing' ... I guess that's the tweak I'd need. But Win98SE online help says to configure Sharing in the 'LAN and Internet Sharing Settings' on the Connections tab of 'Internet Properties'. But as I only have a dialup connection configured, and showing as the default connection on the Connections tab, there is no Sharing option offered below in the LAN settings.
In fact in the LAN setting area it specifically says, "LAN Settings do not apply to dial-up connections. Choose Settings above for dial-up settings."
That might be the end of the road for this little voyage.

I'm guessing the concern there would be that the combo card only allows either the modem OR the network card to operate but not both at the same time, possibly because they might share components inside the card or perhaps because the card can't power both at the same time, they share hardware (eg. they both use the same physical socket on the outside of the card) or whatever ... I had a collegue who had that problem (or at least that was his explanation when I asked him why he had both a dual port PCMCIA combo card and a normal PCMCIA NIC in his laptop) ... I never got the model number of that one though.
Well it seems that I can access the net with the Lib with the combo modem, and can still transfer files from it to the other networked Lib. So I guess this Xircom >can< do both at once. It just seems like the Windows 98SE OS might not support sharing a dial-up connection.
I imagine the modem manual (which you might be able to grab from somewhere on the net perhaps?) would have it? Or have you exhausted that option already?
No... I didn't think of looking around for one. A manual might be nice to have one way or the other though. Good suggestion.
Matt
