My Excite@Home cable internet service went dark on Friday. I have some interesting "good" news. As part of my in-home network (I have 4 Macs and three PC's) I installed an Apple Airport radio basestation six months ago when I bought my Titanium portable. I surf the internet from anywhere on my property using the Airport radio link (the Airport is hooked via a hub to another router and thence to the cale modem. The Aiport basestation is one smart puppy. It works as a hardware Bridge and/or IP router and has a self-contained hi-speed modem which allows ISP sharing by all radio and ethernet clients using NAT protocol if you need to use a dialup connection. So, today I reworked the network without the cable modem and router, told the Airport about my old ISP phone number/login name/password/DNS/etc, activated DHCP on all my machines, fired up Explorer and, BANG -- the Airport dialed up the ISP and here I am linked over Ethernet to a dialup. Amazing and super simple. I'm going to start harrassing ATT tomorrow. (Sadly, my broadband cable link has been getting slower and slower these past few months and now this dialup connection seems almost as fast... <sigh>) --ken
