<<VICOM software does it nicely. There is a working demo version on their site and it is simply software. I have looked at it briefly. It would enable me to act as an ISP for example if I had enough bandwidth to make it worthwhile. There are also several boxes that take care of it as well. WebRamp M3 is $349 and is a 4 port hub. What is really cool though is it lets you connect several modems and all of you on the network get to share the access. You get close to ISDN speed by bonding several regular modem connects and all of you can access the net over the network. Need more ports? Just add an inexpensive hub to add users to the network.>>

Now, do these solutions take ONE IP address and split it up for several users to use? Say I have one modem at 33.6 which I call my $20/month unlimited ISP with. They give me a single IP address which changes every time I call. But I have 3 systems on my local network. Will vicom split that single IP address up into 3 separate ones so they can all use the net at the same time transparently?

Thanks for the info!
