Regarding equipment requirements, what purpose would a router serve in this configuration? Also what speed does a US robotics x2 modem run at? I assume it's twice as fast as a 56k bps,, if so could I use two 56k modems or would I have to go with a pakage deal. If I were do follow through on this it'd probably go with a ISDN line from Pac-bell or do you think I'd be o.k. for this application to just use a standard 56k modem? Right now I'm more or less entertaining the idea of hosting my own web site,, my current home page is hosted on UC Pepperdine's server,, it works great and it's free but the address in part uses my first and last name and the University's server address. Would anyone know if I could keep my web page on the UC server but have a private address? thanks for the advice,, CP
