I have 4 computers on a network, but only 3 are ever in use at the same time (how can I use a laptop AND a desktop at the same time?!)

As for shell account... you can telnet into your webspace using your primary account details (I did this to remove a directory I had managed to break by uploading a .htaccess file. Dont think you get any other facilities on there other than sending ftp commands though. Infact, it was a while ago, so it might've just been the ftp client on command line... cant remember to be sure, I'll try again tonight and post if it is telnet/ssh access.

If you get caught using this type of access for non-webspace reasons, you're likely to get a slap (or in trouble for going against the AUP) and these types of activity are usually logged for tracking things like warez and non-authorised people attempting to get access etc.

Best option though - use a mate's computer at their house and try it from there!
