I have high speed dial-up and I need to make that machine as Internet
connection sharing and I would like to connect multiple computers using
Router, canI do that?.

My Linux machine has a modem and Ethernet connection, I would like to
make that Linux Box as Router (Or I have one Broadband Router too), and
connect my two other computers for e-mail access and Internet access.
Does Linux provides Internet connection sharing just like Windoes (ICS)
does?. Can I do that?. here is the dioag, the PC has modem connection
to Internet and ethernet connection to external Router and then connect
all PC's to LAN. Here if I make my Linux machine(modem and ethernt) as
Router, do I need this external Router?. Thnaks in advance.
