I should mention here that the Acceptable Use Policies on both of these connections forbid you from hooking up multiple machines to their WAN. Linux IPMasq to the rescue!! They also usually forbid you from running ANY services, and if the rumours are to be believed, they do random port scans... A third option is to check into the Colorado Wireless Networking Co-Op. Right now, it is just an test network, but they are already showing faster-than-T1 speeds for a reasonable price (after an almost-unreasonable set-up). They expressly ALLOW you to use the network to its fullest, with the understanding that you share bandwidth with the city... Rather like ACNS, really... Gawd, I miss DormNet... (BTW, the ACNS AUP also forbids multiple machines...) -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Michael J.
