I can't speak for the Nortel modems, for nothing would stop them with a
Paradyne modem. You can set up as many pppoe connections as you want with any
number of machines, and it works great. I'm new enough to networking that I
still think this is cool...
I wouldn't recommend the one-port firewall/nat box if you have room for a
second $20 NIC - but it's an interesting concept anyway.
