    Winmodems can now work with Linux but be a real dude and use real Unix.

    Use this piece of sw, it's very good and all that will need to be done on the other machine is the tcp settings and gateway need to be changed. wink.gif

    He could always ring up Ma' Bell and say: Yo, Ma, gi' me du Unix!; and then Ma' Bell would say: Cleetus, quit yo' yappin' before I bust ya' open!

    Thx all, i got it working, il explain what i did for ppl who might need to do it,
    The 1st thing i did was got a piece of software called Sygate ( www.sygate.com
    i presume that nat32 does the same job, but i found Sygate a lil bit easier,then i just installed it and set it up, it was really easy.
    Then i when to my linux box and set myself a ip on my network range (192.198.0.1-192.168.0.255) and then pinged my linux box to make sure everything was ok.after that i just set my gateway to the ip of my linux box and the DNS server to my isp's DNS server (can be found in winipcfg).
    And that was it biggrin.gif
