Dial-up Gateway Router/Firewall

[Mattison]

Hi Gurus,
Looking for suggestions: I want to set up an old PC with an external
Hayes-compatible dial-up modem to act as a Gateway Router/Firewall to allow
multiple computers on a local network to access the internet via dial-up
account. Should be able to do this with one NIC and the modem I guess. Tried
using a Windows box with Internet Connection Server. It actually worked but
after one reboot my linux web development box wouldn't talk to it any more.
Windows is like a woman on PMS: if she's having a problem she won't tell you
how to fix it. I think I can figure out how to set up the DHCP server but
I'm a little fuzzy on how to configure the modem and Router/Firewall
functions. I was using a Netgear Gateway Router with a cable modem but
switched to dial-up (long story) and now miss the ability to access the
internet from any machine in the LAN. Manual intervention to dial out is ok.
Any tips and hints would be appreciated.
