Wow, Alltel sounds like one heck of a company. I assume they're a small, friendly local telco? The reason I say this is that finding a company that does Macs decently is hard enough. But the thing that *really* got my attention is your mentioning their support of the shared connection setup. From what I can tell, very few ISPs are willing to support networking. They'll help you configure *one* machine and the router and _that is it_. If you wanna hook up more than one machine, you're on your own. Pardon my asking, but what neck of the woods are you in? I may wanna move there. I am currently located in Silly-Con Valley and have been sentenced to SBC as my telco <sigh>. Best, James Fraser -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
