[lug] NIC Question

[j davis]

hi,

some clients of mine are getting the satellite connection in espanola
i have already set up a red hat samba server...so, is it realtivley
easy to get the usb moden going in linux?

Also, you will have to have some kind of NAT to share the satellite 
connection
try iptables.

thanks
jd
