[Crossover cable] Next question, how many pc's are needed in a home? Probably not that many. So, use a crossover calbe & connect your point to point pcs in the home via your ethernet card. This is why electricans in alot of companys are now required to learn ethernet. Who needs a lan in the home? Again probably not many. An 8 in 1 solution is for bussines use only & everybody will not work @ home. Regards, Dug P.S. Just kicking around ideas!

I'm no expert on Paradyne's offering, having read only the US West announcement, and quickly perused their web site, and I hope anyone more knowledgable will correct me if necessary. But it sounded to me like Paradyne's MVL solution doesn't require the extra jack that Amati (and other?) ADSL modems require to be wired. If I'm the phone company, I see that as a big win, even if the service is somewhat slower. Big simplifier for me and for the customer. It caught my attention because I'm really disappointed in the slow rollout of ADSL, or for that matter any other high speed copper solution. That was supposed to be the big plus, right? If you live in a relatively modern place, it works with your existing phone lines, so you don't have to wait for years for the infrastructure to be modified, ala ISDN.
