Here's hoping AMD hangs on to the networking group: Take a look here to get an idea of the concept (yes, Intel also competes in this space): linksys.com Linksys HomeLink Phoneline Networking lets you connect your computers together over your home's existing telephone line! There's no need for a switch, a hub, or special hardware -- the network runs on standard home-grade telephone wires just like the ones you use every day. HomeLink is the easiest way to build a network at home, bar none! It lets you share files, printers, modems, and much more over your home's telephone lines without tying up your telephone! Share an Internet account, play networkable games, and much more while talking on the phone! HomeLink Features: Build A Network Using Your Existing Telephone Line - No Additional Hubs or Cabling Needed Share Interent Access and ISP Connection Over a Network With WinGate Internet Sharing Software Connect Up To 25 PCs on One Network 1Mbps Transfer Rate - Perfect for File and Printer Sharing, Email, Web Surfing, Multi-User Gaming, and More Data Transfer Rate is 18 Times Faster Than 56K Modems For Scorching Downloads and File Transfers Frequency Division Multiplexing for Uninterrupted Simultaneous Voice Service, High-Bandwidth xDSL Internet Access and Network Data Transmissions Works With Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT 4.0, and Windows 2000 (currently in beta -- beta OSs are not supported by Linksys) HomePNA, UADSL, IEEE 802.3 CSMA/CD, and FCC Compliant Share Your Internet Connection HomeLink comes with FREE modem sharing software called WinGate Home. WinGate lets two or more computers surf the Internet through a single computer's modem. Imagine the uses! You'll save money, since each computer on the network will no longer need its own personal Internet account. Use a single dial-up connection for your entire network! Share All Of Your Resources on the Network HomeLink brings the advantages of inexpensive networking to your home or office. Any device on the network, including CD-ROM drives, hard drives, and printers, can be used by any of the PCs that you hook up to the network. The installation CD-ROM that comes with HomeLink will automatically set up your networked PCs so that all of their available resources can be shared. Of course, you have control over the sharing rights, so you are able to isolate devices or drives that you do not want to be accessible from the rest of the network. An Installation That's Easy HomeLink's setup couldn't be easier! The HomeLink Phoneline Starter Kit comes with everything you need to get your computers connected -- two network cards, cabling, a software CD-ROM that includes WinGate Home Internet Sharing software, and an easy-to-read User Guide. Now look here to see how many retailers and OEMs are using AMD chips in their PNA adapters: amd.com
