>Networking *is* sharing.
No kidding... The wife hogs all the 1.5M bandwidth I got on my SWB DSL connection (the cheap 39.95/384K minimum deal). :-]
>My "384K" incoming DSL is typically 800K-900K on downloads from fast sites

Im getting 1.5M downloads (WS_FTP showed 1.52M/s), but then I can see the C.O. if I stand on my roof *grin* I did run new CAT5 from the Network Interface on the other end of the house, and put a RJ11 right on the other end to go directly into the DSL modem. I guess thats the main drawback on DSL, is the "linear cable distance" from the C.O. (~4200 feet here)

Yeah, it only took me about 20 minutes to install the PPPoE firmware and set it up. It runs WAY faster than the 486-66, Dual-ISA NIC, NAT32+ box I had setup! *grin*
If anyone wants to try the 701 on DSL and needs help setting it up, Id be more than happy to help. Really simple, but DOES have a couple of "gotchas"....
By the way, when do you want the 701 back, L? So I can finish that Overpowering Cyrix166 upgrade to the old box in time? :-)
