a certain ISP which we are considering to use indicates that there is an additional $1.50/hour charge for simultaneous connections. i'm setting up a system with a linux box running IPMasq for the internal network connected to eth0. the external interface will be a ppp0 with dial on demand configured. i know that IPMasqing was made just for this particular purpose but will the ISP still be able to detect that a simultaneous internet connection is being made?
In short: No. The ISP is referring to two physical modems connecting at the same time using the same username/password. Using IPMasq involves one connection, and one IP address. No extra charge. I wouldn't advise telling them that you're masquerading, though; they get a bit hot under the collar when they find out that you're *saving* money ;). -- -=|JP|=- Jon Pennington | Atipa Linux Solutions -o) jpennington@atipa.com | Kansas City, MO /\\ 816-241-2641 x107 | http://www.atipa.com _\_V -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
