| Actually, if you read the Terms & Conditions at the link John posted,
| it is worded in a way that indicates that Mom can logon the computer
| using username "family", and that later on Dad can logon using
| username "family" as well.. that everyone in the household doesn't need
| an individual username to use the internet. It doesn't say that Dad can
| be on one computer, and networked to Mom's computer, so that they're
| both on the connection with two computers. No, nuh-uh, no way.
| Networking is NOT supported on Residential FastAccess - if you call
| Tech Support, they'll ask you to take a machine off the network so they
| can troubleshoot it. You'll also find that you'll usually be asked to
| remove any network bindings (netBeui, IPX/SPX) that aren't used in
| conjunction with Residential (read: single-user, not on a LAN)
| accounts. If you wanna run a LAN, at home or whatever, you must have a
| Small Business account.
|
| Trust me. :)
