If he wants to be completely legal, I suppose you don't have much in the
way of choices besides ISDN.

I know for a fact that Oceanic turns a blind eye towards connection

sharing. There are quite a few Oceanic employees on this list and
umm... they really haven't said anything.

As long as you don't like.. try to share the connection with your barracks
or something.

I believe it's safer for Oceanic to allow masquarding. Can you imagine
running a Windows box.. unprotected... on the Internet??? Egads. It gives
me shivers thinking about it.

I've heard rumors of another broadband provider coming in. A.. radio
one. I haven't heard or seen much else. That's kinda disturbing.. those
are our only two choices? DSL or Cable??? Well, at least we have a choice.
