    I think you misunderstood. It is an external router with a built-in
    hub/switch AND modem. It is the router that will control the modem, NOT
    the computers. The only problem I can see is with the dial-up by
    demand. I don't know how many hours you have with your ISP, but I was
    amazed at how often dial on demand causes a connection, last time I used it.

    and it is correct. As far as your w98 and SuSE box go, they are on a
    LAN with the router as their DHCP server and WAN gateway, and probably
    DNS server as well.
