Hi Charlie
Well the answer is simple, we do have a Internet provider that will disconnect you if there is more than one machine connected, even if you have the 1024 kbps service, I was looking trough, but my knowledge of Linux is very small, my maine activity is electronics tech, plus some programing on C and of course Basic.
Also a 35 years radio amateur, just finish recompiling the kernel 6,5 to activate the mkiss, 6pack, etc, then I have a radio access at 9,6kbps for tcp ip on UHF on the radio amateur band.
Thanks for your interest
Alberto
