That's sort of what I figured. Basically, we'd be doing it to get both
computers on the 'Net with broadband; but, the filesharing would be nice,
too... From what I've read since I posted the question - I think as far as
the 'Net is concerned - using the setup recommended by our ISP (wireless,
etc..) would be the best; but, I would imagine that computer-computer would
be much more efficient for file x-fers...
Well, thanks!
