Perhaps you misunderstand. Its a RAS solution, each person dials
up and connectes to the host computer on seperate phone lines. No
problems, its done quite often with NT server (standard RAS only
supports 1 user on 95 and workstation. Of course solutions are
available). If you throw in a Digiboard you can have about 8
people dial in and do the same thing. Use a LAN card and a PM3
and you can have 48 people.
Side note, a tech at a local computer store swears that Microsofts
AOE game will allow up to 5 people to network their machines via
modems ON THE SAME PHONE LINE. I know, sounds like total BS, but
he says hes done it with himself and three other people.
