that's basically what i'd like to do...  :)

that's PART of what i'd like to do...

 :)  i wouldn't mind something like that, either...  although, if i'm
running WinDOZE, it would be neat to be connect to the 'Net from
WinDOZE, then allow BOTH the WinDOZE box and the //gs to use the 'Net
conenction....  if my Pentium is running Linux, that's not a
problem...  <g>

i USED to have an imagewriter, but i gave the thing to the college i
was going to at the time.  -I- didn't need it...  <shrug>

of course, NOW, i have a 24-pin Panasonic attached, so.....  :)
access to it WOULD bea good thing...

how does one obtain this program of yours?
