computers. I don't think you would want to share a dial up connection
between more that three computers but maybe. I say this because my first
network was a peer to peer using coax cable. I shared three computer
using a program that managed the modem use on one of the computers. It
worked but those were the day when downloads were not so big. Now if you
wanted to download three sets of patches from Microsoft... I can't
imagine how long it would take using Auto update.

Anyway, if your friend only wants to us dial up for two computer and
both computer have network cards then I suggest a cross over cable
between the computers and us Internet Connection Sharing (ICS). I may
have the name wrong as I have not used this in quite a while.
