I have two PC's at home, one is running NT 4.0 Workstation and the other is running windows 95. The windows 95 PC has a modem attached (3com US Robotics). Being a bit of a cheapskate, Id like to share the modem so they can both use it. Is this possible, or do I have to shell out £30 for a new one ?<br>
<br>
All help greatly appreciated :))
 
Easist solution. buy another modem.<br>

If the two computers are not networked then buying another modem would probably be the cheapest and easiest route.<br>
<br>
If they are networked, then you can use a software proxy like Wingate to share the Internet connection.<br>
