A few questions about ICS setup...

[Sukhoi]

I have a C433 with a 56K modem running Win98SE, and a P133 with a 28.8K modem running Win95A.

I'm considering setting up ICS on the C433 so the P133 can have more bandwith whenever I'm not using the C433. I found an article on www.firingsquad.com that tells how to do this, and it doesnt' seem very hard. However, I have a few questions on what's going to happen to the TCP/IP setup on the P133.

• On the P133 I would like to be able to both use the 56K connection over ICS, and the local 28.8K modem if the C433 is being used. After reading the
  firingsquad article, it seems that the P133 will be setup so it will only work over ICS. How can I set it up so the 28.8K modem will still be available? I'd like to have it so that if the P133 is already online via the local 28.8K modem, all TCP/IP requests will just go through the dial-up connection. But if the P133 does not have an internet connection when the TCP/IP request is made, I want it to make a dial-up connection through the 56K modem on the C433. Is this even possible?
• There's one other thing I'm curious about. When the P133 is online via ICS on the 433's 56K modem, is any data cached on the C433? Or is all the data being download sent directly to the P133? This includes pics, cookies, etc.

Thanks!

Oh, I also have access to SyGate software that came with my Linksys switch if that would work a lot better than ICS.

Should be no problem. Setting up the 133 to share your connection will not interfere with its own modem connection when it chooses to use it. When the 133 dials in with its own modem, its own internet connection will become its default gateway to the internet, and it will automatically stop using ICS sharing. When the 133 hangs up its modem, sharing will then become reenabled, provided the other computer is connected to the internet.

Ah, wonderful. I was hoping it'd do that.

Does anyone know the answer to my 2nd question? I have no idea if ICS will cache the data in the Temporary Internet Files folder, or a log file or anything like that.
