Sharing a Windows Internet Connection in Linux

Just the other day I was speaking with a friend about wireless phones. He had just quit a bad job (good for him) and was expressing relief over the fact that he had to give up the mobile phone his employer had provided. I have to agree. The phone always seems to ring at the most inopportune times. Don't get me wrong, I think they are one of the (but not the absolute) greatest communication devices ever made. When they work correctly, one can instantly receive or deliver the needed information when the circumstances leading up to that need are at the forefront of the mind. The problem lies in the fact that, unless the recipient of a call is being paid to wait for and answer calls, he/she is not at all expecting the call and is not likely to have his/her mind on the subject of that call. I find this rather distracting and irritating when I am trying to focus on the task at hand.
Phone Scoop provides a list of every possible feature and carrier and allows the user to set a preference from 'no preference' to 'required' for each and every feature. Hey, these people think like me!
