Merlin-
I have a 3Com PCI internal modem/BS Fast Access DSL service- and was wondering 
how to share the DSL connection with another home system...got some great 
advice from several "wireheads" as well as the BSNet tech I called.

Try All Aboard for ICS software - www.internetshare.com- I used a 25' Cat5 
ethernet cable (crossover cable) and physically connected 2 computers (both 
Win98SE) with ethernet 10/100 cards- setup took about 1 hour, including 
installation of an ethernet card in the host and installation of software.  
Cheap ($12 for ethernet cable; $20 for 10/100 - one system already had a 10/100 
installed, and $50 for software).  Simple, rugged, easy, reliable.

Just remember to "tweak" both computers per DSLReports (www.dslreports.com)- 
set DefaultRcvWindow and MaxMTU and you're "good to go"!

Have used the system for about 1 month with no problems- both users are happy 
to have DSL- we'll never go back to dialup (except in dire emergency).  Try it, 
you'll like it!
