That's the first time I've heard of that. I would be a little leary of
putting the modem on a hub, though, since what's to stop any other user from
trying to run PPPoe on their box as well? Have to wonder what kind of
conflicts that would cause.
Learnt something new. ;-)

Arthur, You could get around it by using this setup:
Modem HUB Computer1 Switch/router Internal Computer Network
This would let computer1 use it's own pppoe, and then all the other computers would be on the internal network using your router's pppoe connect features. That is what I have at my house. The only thing is, that I have to pay for two DSL accounts.
In the beginning there was data. The data was without form and null, and darkness was upon the face of the console; and the Spirit of IBM was moving over the face of the market. And DEC said, "Let there be registers"; and there were registers. And DEC saw that they carried; and DEC separated the data from the instructions. DEC called the data Stack, and the instructions they called Code. And there was evening and there was morning, one interrupt. -- Rico Tudor, "The Story of Creation or, The Myth of Urk"
