Setting up Network

["Lee Smith" <leesmith darkstormy com>]

I want to network my Windows98 box to my Linux box. Both have 
cards. I haven't discovered what kind yet. THis question is 
theoretical. Do I need anything in between the two like a router of 
something?

What with all the attacks on Bill's software my theory was to make 
my Linux machine a buffer between the outside world and 
Windows. Everything coming in over a phone line would have to go 
through Linux. I already have too big an investment in Windows 
software to just completely switch to Linux. I'm not even sure that 
I'll ever get Linux completely set up. The investment in time seems 
to be enormous. It's kind of fun though. It reminds me of CPM and 
my Kaypro. There's no being uninvolved. : )
