I did that for a very long time. My linux box was on dial-up, so I had diald
running to bring up the modem when someone needed outside access. I also had a
couple of copies of slipd (a slip server) running so, my Coco (running KA9Q) and
My MM/1 and AT306 could access the internet. Real neat being able to ftp files
directly from rtsi.com to my OS9/OSK boxes.
Contact me offline for details.
