The first routers of this type were for modem connections. Some such as Asante's can use broadband and have a dialup modem for backup. Thus you can go with modem for now and connect your broadband device later. You can also do it with a Mac acting as the router using IPNetRouter. That is how this message is getting sent. I have over a dozen machines connected through a single 56K modem (not all simultaneously as a rule). -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting [EMAIL PROTECTED] "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
