I recently married and my husband and I are considering moving up to high speed access from our individual AOL dial-up accounts. We are not set on sticking with AOL, though he?s addicted to his Instant Messaging, and are considering alternatives. He has (gasp!) a Windoze machine running XP. I have a Macintosh G4 running Jaguar. We will want to share the high speed access and if possible I?d like to set up a small network consisting of the two computers and an old LaserWriter 16/600 I got from work. I also bring home my Powerbook from work occasionally and would like to be able to connect it to the network as well.
Can I get some feedback on the various types of high speed access available in the local area (we are in Oldham County) as far as ease of setup and what is required for each? I know that AOL has high speed access as does Bell South, Insight and Dish Network. Are there any others I should consider and what are the pros and cons of each? I know I will need a small network hub, but will I need a router too? Any recommendations on these? -- Thanks, Beth Fastline Publications Inc.
