I do! And she really loves the puppy!
I had a silver tabby who took a new lease on life at 21 when we got 2 kittens and she survived to 26 with no veteranary intervention at all.
Anyway, you can connect through the XP box if they turn on the internet connection sharing. You may have to manually configure the IP and gateway, etc, but that's about it. XP's sharing does work for web and email, which is probably most of what you want to do. You may have problems forwarding your H.323 and weird network game connections through, but otherwise passive ftp, http, ssh, and other sane protocols will work fine. :)

Thanks! Those are the protocols I need. I appreciate the response, as I didn't want to get there and have a huge can of worms to deal with.
I'd be sorely tempted to think about using your Linux box as the gateway for the XP one - even with the potential complications of USB networking. IME (albeit limited) the Windows connection sharing can be temperamental - and it gives you the oportunity to demonstrate the robustness of Linux.
