PC to the Amiga and vice versa, but then you wouldn't be able to have both
computers using the Internet at the same time, which is what the article is
about. What (I believe) is being attempted is to have the Amiga dialled up
and have the PC (spit) use the Amiga as a gateway to the Internet using the
ethernet connection. This is something I have tried at home, but as yet
haven't got to work yet, looking forward to reading the article.

Thanks � as I can only use one computer at a time this is the way I will
go.
