I know you probably have your reasons for wanting to do this, but I'm at a loss as to why you percieve it as an issue.. A user is connected to your PM2-30, the fastest they're connecting is 33.6Kb/s. What does it matter if they have 1 computer or 10 behind that connection? They can't exceed the 33.6 limit imposed by the connection. If you are worried about these users staying online too long, then impose time limits, not usage limits. Honestly, you'll just drive yourself insane if you try to track down and enforce the "single computer" rule. -- Troy Settle Network Analyst Picus Communications 540.633.6327 ** -----Original Message----- ** From: owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG ** [mailto:owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Love Bug ** Sent: Saturday, June 10, 2000 11:02 AM ** To: freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG ** Subject: LAN detection? ** ** ** LAN detection? ** ** Our ISP has a service that is specified as being a "single ** computer".
