Question about 'Share an Internet Connection'

I have a question about Share
an Internet Connection:
My internet connection sharing host connects via DSL. There are times when the host
is down, or the DSL connection is down. At those times I'd
like to have the internet connection sharing CLIENT dial the internet using a modem
that's local to the CLIENT.
Is there a simple way to have the CLIENT use internet connection sharing when it's
available (most of the time) but
use to a local dial modem when it's not?
Thanks for any help!

Hi,
I never tried, but it should be possible to build up a dial-up-connection on your
client manually (Openning Dial-Up-Network, Double-click the desired connection, log
in) and then your internet
should work again on the client. But I am nearly shure, that it is not possible to
configure a automatical dial-up as backup to the shared connection.

I think IE 4 &/or 5.xx provides the Internet Options Menu stream for Connections,
that may allow you to do what you're wanting to do. I just use dial-up and haven't
had DSL but believe it's treated as a Network, so you could say if Network not present,
dial this connection. ?
