How: PPP I believe that, somewhere, I saw mention that WSTL was accomplishing this via PPP (Point to Point Protocol). I'll see if I can find the specific reference. Steve

<But _how_ is the bandwidth shared? Isn't it just a single-session modem with multiple Ethernet connections to multiple computers?> Sorry Daniel, I can't answer your question. Maybe someone else more knowledgeable can. All I can say is what it did, not how it did it. Michael

>>But _how_ is the bandwidth shared? Isn't it just a single-session modem with multiple Ethernet connections to multiple computers? >>The bundling may be significant in terms of consumer marketing (ease of use), but technologically, it's just a small (and probably passive?) Ethernet hub, right?<< It has to be an ethernet hub. The ATU-R has only one ethernet port, e.g. one rj-45 connection. That goes to a hub, with the hub repeating the signals and out to the ATU-R in bridge mode. The WSTL ATU-R would see a packet with an address for a different destination than on the local port and then foward it out the wan interface. All imho, of course. Hal
