Bellsouth DSL router is OK?

Have you checked their terms of service on their website ? Even if they don't allow it, that wouldn't stop me from trying. I would let them hook it up to one of the PCs and after they leave I'd slide the router in between (and possible spoof the PC MAC address if needed). As far as I'm concerned, you're paying for the connection and bandwidth, not for how many computers are connected.

Bellsouth has been issuing Westell DSL modems for sometime. These modems have built-in NAT, so you won't need your current router. Just add a switch / hub and you're good to go. Should you prefer to use your current router, you'll need to reconfigure the Westell to disable it's NAT function.

Thanks much for that information! Much appreciated. I'll use my router and disable the NAT...... once I figure that out which shouldn't be too hard. I think

Got to DSLReports and look in the Bellsouth forum. You'll find a FAQ that contains a link to Westell configuration. Here you will find how to disable NAT in the Westell DSL modem.
