There's something else about this free DSL "deal" --

It's limited to one computer -- you can't put multiple
systems on the line, as you could with a "real" DSL
connection.  (Or so I've heard.)

Well, I suppose you _could_, but they terminate your
account if you do.  I suppose that the modems that
they supply don't offer network address translation
schemes to mask all the IP addresses into one.
