There is a *command, but it should be automatically taken care of by the
!Internet for the local network and whatever dialup software you are using.

IIRC and you are using broadband on the Iyonix, but want to do occational
dialup, leave it on the RPC so you can continue to use the fast connection on
the Iyonix.

To share the broadband connection make sure all machines have the same
netmask and are on the same subnet (IP address is the same everywhere the
netmask has 255s and different in the bits that are 0), and put the routers
address in the Routing Gateway box.

NetFetch is just a bundle, as it doesn't have the modem connection stuff of
!Dialup. However it is much easier to manage adding different email servers
and setting up times fetched than using the configuration files for PopStar
and NewsHound. Plus it has a pretty control panel for lauching stuff if you
like such things.

I suspect your problems are from the old non StrongARM EtherH module, which
is causing crashes in network using applications. 4.33 will hopefully cure
that.
