Re: question about a modem setup

Er, do you mean have Linux talk to the modem in your laptop? No.

But depending on the version of Windows on the laptop you may be able to use
it as your router.

I have a DSL modem (internal PCI) on my main computer, and a built in dial up on my laptop.  I'm having a hard time getting my DSL modem set up in Linux, so I was wondering if I could use the dial up modem on my laptop through my NIC in linux.  Would that work, considering that the only OS on my laptop is windows?  How would I set something like that up?
