I have a doozy of a question.
My dad needs a new computer at his office, and he wants a mac. yay! and we're about to get a mini tomorrow, but....
The only catch is, can someone else who is using a windows XP machine share his dial-up internet?
If this is possible, can that person also control the connection?
The situation is that the person who uses the internet the most is in another room, and my dad's computer is the one with the modem.
If it's not possible for XP to control the dial up connection on a mac, is it possible for a mac to control the internet connection on XP? (this way, we can just give the other person a modem and my dad can control it)
See what I need... can it be done? With XP it's a snap (just tick off "Allow other users to control this connection", but is it that simple in OS X?
