I use a device called a Web Ramp. It is essentially a cross between a router and a hub for my lan. All six PC's suck off of the same internet connection(s). I typically have three connections at an effective 165K speed (3@52K-- 56K never really happens). Somehow this device combines the bandwidth and speed and works half again as fast as an ISDN line with the added benefit of redundancy, all for about the price of ISDN here. Today, while I was placing an order, one modem dropped it's ISP connection. Meanwhile the other two continued on without a hitch (only slowing me down to about 104K for a minute while the modem reconnected). Pretty cool. Matt
