I wont be using an actual airport base station. But rather using Apple's Software Base Station or IP Net Router. The downside of this is that the computer running the routing software always has to be on. If it crashes you lose the connection on all of the other computers until it is restored.

As many replies have noted, iinet does have many ADSL customers using Mac's (including this family on an ADSL freedom plan - which provides a fixed IP address) and set up was very easy, despite the lack of tech support. The main problem with this contract (now not available) was that for most

is this a modem set up thing which may be altered with software (not that one would ever do that) No, it would be done at iinet's routers. what is the significance of this for such things as sharing (legal) mp3s, ftp server etc? Not much. Most people don't run web, SMTP or HTTPS servers to
