The thing that annoys me is that the home version is only available in USB, 
so what happens if you are for example running NT, or some other OS that 
does not support USB. How about having a version that supplies a single 
ethernet connection, and 1 IP address, that way anyone with an ethernet 
capable machine could use the service, but you would still be limited to 
one *DIRECTLY* connected machine.

Phill.
