@Home currently doesn't officially support more than one computer. I do understand that they will be offering additional IP addresses for $5/mo.

Roadrunner currently supports 2 IP addresses by default, and they will give you 3 if you ask. They currently do not charge, but will start charging additional shortly.

@Home's IP addresses are static. Roadrunner's are dynamic, using DHCP, with a 1-hour lease. With Roadrunner, you also have to use a "login" program. Until you login, you only have access to the Roadrunner server.

I much perfer the @Home system.

You can "unofficially" have additional computers by using a proxy server on the system that talks to the modem. I use WinGate, which runs as a service on NT, and can also run on Win95.
