No, this is local ethernet only. The NIC in the Linux box is an Intel EtherExpress 10/100 (82559) card. All the Windows workstations use NE2k compatible cards. There are three 3Com OfficeConnect dumb hubs around the building.
The Linux box has a 24/7 33.6k ppp connection; it does IPMASQ and has a Squid for the workstations on the LAN.
