Does your ISP not charge for simultaneous usage (su)? What I mean is: if you're dialing into one account (presumably at the same time) from two completely different phone lines, what's the difference between that and you dialing in on *one* machine, giving your account info to a friend, and having them use your account from their home/machine, too? Or do you have two lines, but they are only used one at a time? If they don't charge for su, can you please tell me who your ISP is? A friend of mine worked for a dot net and got a call from a guy who was trying to figure out why his son's Internet bill was so high. It turns out that the kid (in an earnest but horribly misguided attempt to be "popular") gave out his account info to his pals...who were frequently logged on at the same time, causing him to be hit with monster su charges. The ISP would do the same thing to folks who, say, had one computer downstairs/one upstairs, and would be logged into their account from both machines at the same time.
