Is this right:  you have 2 PCs in the same branch location (both with
networks cards as well as modems) -- one for (dialup) Internet access and
one for (dialup) Dynix access -- and you need to access the printer on the
"Dynix PC" from the "Internet PC".

You may not be able to use TCP/IP on both the dial-up adapter (for Internet
access) AND the network card (for file/print sharing) at the same time.  I'd
try installing NetBEUI on both machines (you need it only for the network
card so you can remove anything that looks like "NetBEUI -> Dial-up Adapter"
in the Network settings), then in the Bindings tab for the TCP/IP properties
_uncheck_ "File and print sharing", and in the Bindings tab for NetBEUI
_check_  "File and Print sharing".

If I've misunderstood your question, please pretend like I never sent this
email.  :)
