heyas..
A friend of mine is going to try and setup his internet connection (through a 
500kbps connection) over a network. The connection comes in on an ethernet 
card, and he can set it up on thin-t, or twisted pair, and maybe some 
others.. not sure. (i think he just wants to use twisted pair, since he's 
selling me a bunch of his thin-t cards =) ) 
His reason for doing this is because he has two systems he wants to have 
internet on, and he wants to setup another system (486 dx-something, he has a 
bunch of stuff from 386sx's to high-end 486's) to act as the internet server, 
and run an email sever for my bbs.
Now, my question is, what program would he need to run as a server (he has 
netware 3 server..) and what can he run to share the internet connection over 
the lan? What else would he need to run in order to have an internet email 
server? So i guess this is going to have to be a multi-tasking OS..  i don't 
know if netware 3 multitasks or not...
any help would be greatly apreciated..
ttyl, greg
