22874	2001-10-28 23:54:00	is there a setting in Win95 (or Win98) that will allow two seperate computers (physically isolated) to share the same telecom phone circuit at the same time ? (I have an internet-dedicated phone line and have two PCs (that can not be networked) and would like to access the internet from both PCs at the same time.)	Guest (0)

You could buy a router, which will network them, and also enable 'simultaneous' access to the Internet through a single modem. But you will not be able to do that without special arrangements with your ISP. It will cost you ...	Guest (0)

The two computers are in opposite corners of the house. Thus, cabling is a major problem. A friend (aren't they wonderful creatures) seemed to think that Win98 would allow muliple connections under these circumstances, hence my question.	Guest (0)
