I have a problem.

I need my machine at home to act like an ISP.

At home I have a small network of a linux redhat 5.1 server and two win
95 machines.

On the redhat server at home I develope internet sites. What I need to
be able to do is dial into my machine at home and be able to surf the
sites on that box and ftp to and from it.

At the moment I can dial into the box and open a terminal connection
from my win95 box at work.

I'm not worried about security and I will only be dialing in from one
machine here
at work.

I have recompiled the kernal to include ppp and slip but all of the
documentation I have seen so far is just confuse and relys (in the
case of slip) a command slattach. I don't seem to have any sl0 or sl1 in

/dev/

I thought slip would be better because it is simpler and we are only
talking about one
connection at a time.

Help me!!

Can anyone help me with some full proof instructions or a man page etc
that are redhat 5.1 compatable.

thanks

Duncan
