Quite possible.  Their networking models are a bit strange.  I found the
aliased version more reliable.

It's just, well, sacrilegious, to let Winblows live on a Linux box.
I find it proof of Linux' "level playing field" concept that such a
project could be considered, implemented and that it works.  In some
cases, it works better than Winblows solo.  Micro$loth would NEVER let
that happen!  But then again, I recall having an Emplant board and
a BridgeBoard in my Amiga 3000.  AmigaDOS, Unix, Winblows and Mac,
all on one system.  Now THAT was impressive!

"What?  LINUX?  Ye Gods!  Thou heathen!  Thou vile creature!  Knoweth
ye, that but Windows exists!  All other operating systems are the work
of the Dark Ones, and the use of such shall Damn you to eternal
Hellfire and Brimstone!  Begone, ye varlot!  Ye blastphemer!  Ye
heretic!  Begone, I say!"
