Not *physically* attached to the line, no, but I don't think Anne is
trying to do that. I think she is trying to acheive something like
this... (warning: mad ASCII art)

Both Router 1 and Router 2 are doing NAT which is a little bit evil -
but shouldn't cause any problems, except PC's on each router 1 can't
talk to PC's on router 2. The trick there is to set up static routes
between the two routers if they support it. Hopefully that makes some
sense!
