Seems good to me, though AOL screen names do have issues with routers/sharing. |
A decent broadband ISP would be able to supply the ethernet rather than USB modem. Some may charge for the priviledge rather than offering a "freebie" USB one, but to be honest, even if I had a single PC rather than a network, I'd want an ethernet rather than USB based modem.
As it is a quick
