[ale] backup setup

[Geoffrey]

I've got one win98 machine on my network, it's a dual boot for my 
daughter.  She's had full access to shares and the internet through my 
machine, until I removed networking on her windows install.  (she knows 
she gets to the internet via Linux only now).

So, it can be done, although I've never played with dialup networking 
stuff on windows 98.

Preston, are you planning providing internet access via the linux box or 
have the win98 box dial out direct?
