The third problem is ONLY ONE computer can be hooked up to your home. In our home we have a couple of computers and only one can be connected to cable. I can't tell you where I read it, perhaps on one of the networking threads (Bay or Cisco), but at least one or two people here on SI are using @home with more than one computer at home via a LAN.

<<Right now I am pretty satisfied with the service but there are a couple of drawbacks I see. I maintain AOL as my ISP as well because I use a laptop. If you are mobile and have a laptop, you need to rely on your modem when you are away from home. There is no way to access @Home or their @Home website via the modem. It is a definite drawback if there are features you want to access on their site.>> When I was reading the 10-Q the other day, I got the impression that this service was also available via phone lines, primarily for the @work component. It is possible I may have misunderstood what I read but I had had the concern with respect to accessing @home if you were away from home or in an area where @home was not available. Also, with respect to only one computer being hooked up, isn't it possible to get a second connection? Obviously at an extra charge but just wonder if this is possible. Melissa
