yup, thats how i thought the adsl setup would workout, ps i
managed to digup a seimans (sorry about the wordorder) what
ever it was that was sugested hereabouts a while ago.

my origonal question shrouded by my hrt/super heavy duty
analgesics (the green pills come as 80 mg), life gets fuxxy
about this time of month .. apologies all.

as best as i can tell what i want to do is to take teh above
and connect it to my existing network that is connected tot eh
internet via dialup modem (through telstra direct).

here is teh answer i think i need to build a bridge between
these two networks 203.7.226.0/24 and whatever exetel.com.au
dishes out as there adsl connectivity network.

so is this how i could send files from one 'network' to teh
other 'network' i do not want to route traffic back tot eh
internet over the adsl side rom teh dialupside diaup traffic
will stay on dilaup network.

all i'm interested at teh moment is to move files to/from my
existing network (and its 5 ish machines) to the adsl connected
machine and to move BIG files from the internet into my dialup
modem connected network over some sort of 'bridge'

so a bridge is teh way to do this or have i gotten this wrong
??

regards/appreciations/thanks
