Will the Internet connection sharing work If I connect to internet via a GSM
modem connected to the computers USB? Where I live my options are 56k modem
or GSM (cell phone network). GSM gives 348k so would prefer that, however I
also want to share the connection. The helpfunction in XP only mention
connection sharing beeing possible with modem, ADSL and similar. I had a look
at Steve W:s site without finding an answer to this. Hope someone could give
me some advise.

If the GSM modem creates a connection in the Network Connections
folder, you should be able to share that connection. That works, for
example, with cable modems that connect by USB.
