John,

This is exactly the information I was looking for. I have 4 home
computers, one phone line, one PC modem, multiple ISP connections and
don't want to pay for another phone line. I was sure that linux would be
capable of this network support since I've been able to manage a simpler
PPP variation on my Macintosh with FreePPP. The ifcfg-eth0, xplink
information is very useful, and I'll investigate linuxconfig as well.

Thanks for the reply,
