I think 40 bucks a month is enough to pay without having them rip you off
for more addresses. This is a lie they use to get you to pay more money. I
have the same problem, only one computer can get the modem at a time, and it
is all set up correctly, but the thing is, my friend has 3 computers all of
which are on SIMULTANEOUSLY, without the need for a proxy (the modem goes in
his uplink port) or the need to buy additional numbers. My problem is that
he can not remember how he set it up, so I was wondering if anyone could
tell me how it is done, because i know it IS possible to share the modem at
the same time, with only one number and no proxy.
