    Guus,
    Yes you can share a modem with your other machines.
    Go to www.linuxforum.com And look for
    "Sharing an Internet Connection Using NAT/IPTABLES"
    It's very simple to setup. I have two windows and a linux laptop
    sharing a dialup modem attached to an linux box with a modem
    attached to a serial port.

    In the above reference be sure to use "ppp0" in place od "eth0"
    in the script line starting with "$IPTABLES".

    regards,
    Jim
