Actually, I had SNET DSL for a while, and we had the same setup. We connected the dsl modem to the hub, and we could all connect at the same time. We would each get our own IP and everything. SNET sure did a good job setting up their network. Also, if we went to the webpage where it reports how many hours you used that month, the cgi script would often crash because we had more hours than there are in a month. Note that this is probably very rare :P -- Zachary P. Landau <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> GPG: gpg --recv-key 0x24E5AD99 | http://kapheine.hypa.net/kapheine.asc
