Are you going to attach a modem to the IRX async port? The main problem
you are going to have is if you only have one dynamically assigned IP
address, since you have 3 workstations you want to hook up. You are going
to need to get a static IP subnet or run NAT. NAT is not yet available,
but is currently in Closed Beta.
What exactly you want to do is going to depend on what services you want
to provide externally from your machines (i.e. do they need to be
accessible?). What is your situation? Are you an ISP dialing into your
own equipment or do you not have control of that (e.g. getting subnets and
routing)?
