I reckon it could become quite congested what with MBit/s speeds coming
into something less than 56Kbps.<br>
<br>
Still, quite feasible. As someone suggested (Shaun Lee Clarke), a PC
doing the dial up stuff with an ethernet port to the wireless<br>
network with sharing across the interfaces.<br>
<br>
I used to do just this with a linux box and pppd with forwarding set up
in firewall rules (ipchains then I think??)<br>
Been a long time since those days!!!<br>
<br>
Good luck<br>
