David, go with as much bandwidth as possible. It never hurts to have a fast connection but you have to realize that no matter if you use a T-1 or xDSL or simple Dialup connection, you are at the mercy of internet congestion at times. If you live in an urban area, you may wish to get a direct connection on ABW's private network. I believe that is a frame relay connection. A simple dialup internet connection is sufficient unless you have line static/noise and your connection speed is poor. Regarding your last question, yes you can split a cable modem connection into multiple computeres. The best way to do this is setup a LAN in your house and basically wire up everything. There are kits ($100 to $150) and you'll have several to select from: Cisco home network setup, 3com, and there's a wireless one whose name I can't recall. Good luck. Regards, SH
