Please log in for more thread options friend (who lives 100 miles away) that just subscribed to DSL (Verizon), and he wonders if he can really do what he wants to do. He has three machines, co-located in one house. Each machine will have what he says is a DSL modem, each of which apparently will have its own serial number which he says he can register with Verizon. He wants to connect each machine to a hub (USB I think), thence to the outside world. He then wants to move two of the machines to two of his other homes (God he is rich!), and use those machines there. Can he do this? What problems will he have? Thanks Geezer | ||||||||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options sent me an external DSL modem along with filters that connect to the wall connection before connecting telephones. If one obtains a router and plugs the modem into it one can connect 3 or four more computers and also get the DSL. Additionally, if one were to purchase a wireless router then one could pick up the DSL throughout the house. If your friend's homes are within close proximity to the first house; maybe 100 feet then he could possibly have them achieving DSL through that one account, but most probably those homes are a lot farther away and your rich friend will most likely have to spring for two more additional DSL accounts and two additional dsl modems. -- Jan Alter bearpuf@verizon.net or jalter@phila.k12.pa.us | ||||||||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options It all depends on where you live. DSL here (Qwest, not Verizon) gets 300 -
400K downloads from Symantec on a 5Mb connection ($79.95). 1 Meg is $21.95. Both are less than the full pipe, but compare favorably to cable. Cable is cheaper if you understand that "up to 5 Mbps" also means "down to 20 or 30KB" (less than 256K) during peak times, and far slower upload speeds. ....kurt > Frankly,I'd tell him to go with cable,I have Verizon DSL,and it's far from
