Hi,

My requirement is this:

I work in a University library that has an internal network.

I need to support distance learners who will be connecting to the
Internet via a regular ISP.

The problem is my experience accessing online resources from within
the University's intranet is significantly different from that of
off-campus users using the resources the library provides via it's web
pages.

Therefore, in order to support distance learners effectively, I need
to have access to a computer that is accessing the Internet via a
regular ISP.

At the moment, I have a standalone computer set up with a regular 56K
dial-up modem attached.    But this is not ideal.  What I would really
like is a virtual machine on my own computer that detects the dial-up
modem and can use it to establish a connection to the Internet via an
ISP.  Would this be fairly straightforward to configure?  I have
limited experience setting up VirtualBox machines in the past, and on
these occasions I recall that Internet access was available by default
via the LAN, so having a modem attached would be rather pointless.

Any hints most gratefully received!

Regards,

Alex
