Hi all,
Success! I now have a linux box running RedHat7.1 talking to my BT USB ADSL
(can I buy a vowel please) box and ethernet on the other side. Full NAT for
my
Win98 box and SGI. Next step is to install Squid Cache, DHCP and Apache.

If people want more info/help please contact me

All the best

Matthew
