Is there any good beginners documentation on doing this? Can someone advise me on what is the best setup, coax them together, ethernet or what? A Hub? Do I need a static IP? Is it best to have a static IP? I will be using my ISDN as a dialup anyway to avoid $700/month charges for an always on permanent ISDN connection. cheers James -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
