Hopefully it will be possible....
This has been discussed on this list a couple of times already - search
the archives.  I posted about it on September 28, and again on October 25.
I plan on asking about it at clug tomorrow (unless someone else asks first
:-)

Yes, and yes.  It's dead easy to set up, too.

Note that you'll need to sigh up with an isp before you can actually use
"TransWEB" - transact just provide the connection between you and the isp.
(unless you just want to use the internal network, of course :-)
I recommend *against* netspeed (you'll find lengthy reasons for this in
the mailing list archives too).
