Indeedy - BT are being the nasty buggers that we know them for. Yes,
only one *directly* connected machine, but limitless others, through a
variety of methods (think Socks, think proxies, think port forwarders,
think internet connection sharing...)

Anway, it'll be a bit nicer when (if) linux or some other real network
OS supports USB and the relevant gubbins to make ADSL work :)

Seems as though Demon's recent offering only gives you a real ethernet
port if you pay them 95 quid a month or more.
Plus, /all/ their offerings claim that they require Windows 98 or 2000
:(
