Hi All,
	I have a BIG question here. At work I have 8 offices connected to 
a central centre via 33.6k dialup modems (these modems are basically 
setup to send file, there is no actual netware/network connection between 
these, just basically zmodeming updated files). All offices are running a 
novell 
network (no TCP/IP install yet) same with the central server. Note there 
is currently NO connection at all between these servers.

What I want to do, is to get an IP address for the central centre and 
then allow all users access to the internet.

I was thinking of have the ip address on a linux server in the central 
system with maybe a linux server at each office accessing the main linux 
server.

So if someone on a PC in an office wants access to the internet the route 
would look like this :

PC -> Office Linux Server -> Modem at office ----- Modem at central 
centre ->Linux Server at central office -> Modem (or ISDN) to 
internet service provider.

Now, what I would like to know is, Is this at all possible on such a 
large scale. 

I'm not new to linux and have been using redhat for a few years now, and 
I'm pretty up to date in novell too (btw these are 3.12 servers..)

I've got as far as knowning that I'll need TCP/IP on the workstations but 
I can't assign them an IP address as I only have 1. And getting an IP 
address for each workstation would be too much hassle (read : cost)

So basically ANY information would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks for any help/guidence you could give me.

Regards.
