You do not have to worry about any setup. diald mintors traffic trying to
go out of your network and brings the line up automatically.
Now depending on what you want to do you will have to set up the server.
You have two choices if you get a dynamic IP address from your ISP.
1) You can use the Apache proxy server on the Linux box and configure your
Netscape proxy settings to use this. Use this if you want an internal Web
Server also.
2) Or you could setup IP Masquerading. (I prefer this as you would get all
the facilities of the Net on all you Win95 machines).
The 3rd option is to use both. It works.

Hi there,
I am new to linux and all its related stuff, thus maybe this question has
already appeared on the list, but I am new to the list too 8-)
I am trying to set up a small private network to use a single phone line to
communicate to the Internet through my ISP. I am running Linux RedHat 4.2
(Kernel 2.0.30) as a server to this network.
I have succesfully installed diald 0.16.5, and it works just fine when I
try to connect to the Internet using the Linux computer. The problem comes
with the rest of the machines (running Win95). I guess I have to configure
browsers and ftp clients in those machines to connect to diald, as a proxy,
in the Linux machine, but... what port is diald listening to ? I have not
found this info on the man pages...
