Yeah, it works well - I have had 4 PCs (windows and Linux) hooked up to
the internet thru a 33.6k modem. It's slowish at times, but it's better
than 4 fone lines!

Also have a look at masqdialer (try http://freshmeat.net), which makes
it easy for any of the computers to dial up the connection or shut it
down. It has clients for windows, java, linux console and X. Very nice
little program.
