greetings,

looks like i'm taking a step into teh new world wide internet
via the adsl+ mechanisms, i've read many -questions posts about
how hard it is to route from one side to teh other and or back
again .. frankly, i am not interested in that sort of
(nonsense) way of doing things.

i am hoping that it is as simple as adding teh adsl+ machines
address into the existings networks /etc/hosts/ and
/etc/networks/ then to put a second ethernet card into one of
teh local network machine and tie teh machines together with a
red cable, one of those with the tx/rx  wires swapped, sorry i
jus cannot recall what that cable is called ??? (mine are red
pvc sheathed).

some of teh other things i'd thought of doing was adding a scsi
cdrom burner, even a usb version and move teh relevent files
via teh old sneaker net ?? that gets a bit messy for packages,
yes ?

perhaps, addinging some 10.10... addresses and parallel port
cable to setup a fastlynx typw network connection like in teh
dos day over the slow serial port or the faster parallel
port.

these are the only ways i can think of doing this,
inconvenient, all awkward, all messy (network wise)

thoughts/suggestions/war stories/etc

sincere appreciations kind regards

jonathan
