Internet sharing with linux and win98 machines

[Donald Chorman]

Thanks to everybody for the help. This is going to be a work in progress
for me. I have two NIC's made by 3Com but I am not sure if  they will
work because 3Com does not have any Linux drivers listed at 3Coms site
for this make of card. Perhaps a private party has written drivers for
this card. I haven't looked yet. If they won't work, does anyone have a
suggestion on which NIC to get?

Will my connection running through the Linux box, be as fast as if I had
my Win98 machine connected to the modem? (My linux machine is a
PII233MHz, with 160MB SDRAM, Win98 PIII800EB with 256 MB)

Thanks again to all of you,
Don
