1385896 2014-10-08 04:28:00 I don't see why not if your account is set up for sub-users or with a 'child account'. My wife and I can log in together on basically the same Orcon account, she has a child account tacked onto mine.

Way back in the day when I ran Internet in a Box (Mosaic) and when IBM was an ISP and there was ibm.net, I used to login as a sub user on my son's Canadian account, they used to allow up to 6 sub users.
After about 2 years or so IBM wised up to such things, and they no longer allowed such cross border arrangements :)
