I think one could put append in there, don't know the exact way of doing it, what seems even harder is to make lilo be able to answer the modem, if I get dialin ppp going when I get a better connection. I'd have to make sure it doesn't send a return as it'd boot to windows, and I'd have no remote control of the system. When using ips on the local network, is it a big issue about the windows file sharing that two people connected to my machine by modem with for say 10.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.2 would blame me for allowing person 1 to map person 2's c drive to their computer, seeing all machines on my network at the time would be visible in network neighborhood in windows? Does this only apply to the machines directly hooked by ethernet, or does dialup connections have the same properties and abilities that my computer could do when hooked to my laptop. I intend to just hook the main computer to the network card and whatever kind of connection becomes available, and have a place to hook my laptop in so I can solve the problem of how to transfer files between the two machines, but the dialups connected by modem off the main computer would have access to all the devices just like I would on my laptop, right? That wouldn't be good if they use my sound card when I'm trying to record something, I guess that's what userdel becomes necessary for, but don't particularly want to use that method to prevent them from using my audio devices over the network when I'm doing stuff with it. How would I make my dialup line use the isp's dns, as I don't even know a thing about dns config files, and updating the millions of domains in the internic database to be able to be resolved when I use dialup? That's one thing ipmasking won't give me, and I don't like entering ip addresses in to my web browser and email, do I have to run dns just to give me a dialup line to get on the net when I'm using my laptop somewhere else, or does it use the one my regular machine is set to?
