Hi! Be advised, this is from a UK perspective.
Cons: 1) Cost of the call as you move further away from your "personal ISP" 2) I am under the impression that the low pass filter at your exchange is disabled for ISP dial-in lines, which enables the speeds about 33K. 3) If the system goes down, it's not going to come back up until you go home and fix it, meaning no remote access. Pros: 1) Very private access to your network with decent authentication. 2) Good if there are no 'free' ISPs available I guess. 3) No wait toll free support line! Just ask the questions in a mirror ;) James.�� > -----Original Message----- > From: Lance Dunn [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, March 18, 2003 9:39 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [leaf-user] LEAF as an ISP? > > As a user of Bering (and happily) I have a pretty simple setup: > Internet <=> Cable Modem <=> Eth0 NIC <=> LEAF <=> Eth1 NIC <=> Hub <=> 3 > Windows computers > What I would like to do is complicate the issue.
