I'm not sure I understand you correctly... To be
honest though, my expertise that I referred to, is
probably nowhere as detailed as the impression I gave,
I was being tongue-in-cheek ;)
I just meant that I can set up Smoothwall for basic
internet access for all machines on a local network,
despite the Alcatel USB modem and BTopenworld being
strictly single user (ie no Network Address
Translation).
If that is what you meant then yes. Otherwise my Mr
Alcatel USB ADSL tag runs its course there. Don't ya
just hate it when you're caught blagging it? Ask Ron
;)
