I have a realtek RTL8139 family pci fast ethernet NIC in my computer. I also have the same kind in my husbands. Now what do I need to get so I can have both computers on line at the same time. I have a dial up conection. I am interested in making this possible, but don't even know where to start .. Any ideas or suggestions.. Barbara
