I've been able to get an AOL DSL connection shared for one of my clients by
using the USB connection (on the blue external DSL Modem) for the primary
computer and the Cat 5 connection for the second computer. Each works well
and is independant of the other. No lack of bandwidth on her DSL line. I'm
not sure if this is what you have in mind.
