 Most Home routers have a PPPoE client built in, or you can use a PPPoE client that is installed on the customer OS.  WindowsXP has PPPoE built in, RASPPPoE works good for the other OS's. Yes, you can limit their PPPoE account to only 1 simultaneous login.   ----- Original Message ----- From: Sevak Avakians To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 18, 2003 8:25 AM Subject: Re: [smartBridges] Stealing service Thanks, Eric.  So do they need to install software on their computers to do this?  Is this a 1 login at a time to prevent others from giving out their login and passwords?
