Well, if you're providing all the WAPs, I suppose that might be theoretically possible. That gets into being the router police again, though. I still think it's heading down the wrong road, though. In most scenarios, the cost to the provider is about the same, regardless if the subscriber has one device or ten.[1] The big variable is how much bandwidth they use, because that dictates how much the provider have to pay for *their* feed. -- Ben [1] I suppose if you're providing one big wireless network, device count could matter, but that strikes me as a bad way to do things. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
