I'd much rather "teek" a woman called Susan! But then again...

Try something called "commlink". I have not tried it myself and it
may be for win95 only. It lets you share a single modem over a
network. It is only 117Kb and costs USD10.00. The makers
description reads:
"Special software that allows a PC without a modem, to share a modem
from another PC, without being on a network. This software only gets
loaded on the PC with the modem. The PC sharing the modem needs a
null-modem cable."
Get it from:
ftp://ftpbaybug.banyan.com/public/commlink/commlink.zip

At UKP350, it is a rip off.
The best and the simplest I've tried so far is Derlina WinFax which
comes free with many modems. Do not use the "pro" version yet!
It does the job and it is simple enough to use.

Forget it mate!
> Why is sharing a modem not like sharing a printer
'coz the printer wants to be shared, being liberated and all that!
Cheers.
