I reckon it could become quite congested what with MBit/s speeds coming 
into something less than 56Kbps.

Still, quite feasible.  As someone suggested (Shaun Lee Clarke),  a PC 
doing the dial up stuff with an ethernet port to the wireless
network with sharing across the interfaces.

I used to do just this with a linux box and pppd with forwarding set up 
in firewall rules (ipchains then I think??)
Been a long time since those days!!!

Good luck

Mark
