OK, I got the SNET DSL package now at home, but did not have the time
to look at it too closely.
re-reading the mails, what PPPoE do you use?
Can one have two ethernet cards in the same machine. I am still thinking
of going through my small serving linux box, since I dont want to
reconfigure all the other machines. (so far this machine dials into
yale, whenever in need for internet)
someone mentioned that I can have multiple accounts through the SNET DSL
(with a HUB I suppose) does this mean I have to have the snet program
running on all the machines and sign in with the same username and
password?
thanks
