2 problems

1. I have an ISDN-modem wich works in OS 9 via a 3rd-party driver. The company have later stopped making Mac-drivers, and have fallen for the dark side...how could I get that working in OS X so I can speed up the internal 56k a little bit, at least.

2. Having 2 computers, I wanna surf from the PowerMac. Yet my loving father insisted only the imac be connected.
I have an ethernet connection going through a slow 10Mbps hub between the 2 computers. Can I connect my G4 throught my G3 to the internet, or would the speed-loss be so great it'd be useless to even try?
I've seen this done with Wintel PCs without additional hardware, but it did require disconnecting through the middle computer. Would i easily do this, or would i have to use Timbuktu?

No way

For surfin, 10 mbit doesn't matter since it is still way faster then the bandwith you get from your ISP, be it narrow or broadband. Now, you can't connect your G4 through the G3 since the G3 only has one ethernet port. There is a way to connect both to the hub and let the G3 serve the connection, but this way (without a second ethernet port) is NOT recommended. Searche the forum, there was a thread with the how-to article not too long ago here.
The best option would be to get a router. It would replace the Hub and would serve the connection to all connected ethernet Macs.
