Howdy listers, I have ordered my DSL service (thru Bellsouth; anyone have experiences 2 share?!?) and am now waiting for them to install the service w/ their single-computer modem. I am also going to Best Buy today to see what they have in routers (see? I listen 2 y'all!) so I can expand my internet access to all of my computers & printers (about 7 total) ...
So here are my questions for the great Mac Oracle of Knowledge... 1. I notice that my 7600 has TWO ethernet connections; one an RJ-45 and the other a AAUI(?) port. Is it possible to use BOTH at the same time? Or if I wanted to use both, would I have 2 switch back & forth? (The reason I am asking is that I currently have a few of my work computers hooked up together via an ethernet LAN, and it is sensitive material. I realize that the computers could share it all using the network that will be created when I get my DSL network up & running, but I would prefer to keep these computer in their little network, independant from my other computers. Is that possible?) 2. Say I have a router, and I take one of the rj-45 lines from it and SPLIT IT into two rj-45 connections (using a device I saw once at Radio Shack). Would it be able to provide TWO DSL connections itself, OR would the "splitter" have to be a router? The device I saw from Radio Shack was small like a Farralon Eitherwave device, and it claimed it could split a connection into two.... For that matter, could the Farralon Etherwave split a connection into two usable ones also? Thanks, Craig W.
