I stand corrected, MediaOne does indeed require a valid MAC before leasing an IP. Does anyone know if this was always the case? I seem to remember my MAC being recorded AFTER we had the connection up and running. Anyway Jerry, you can get some more info here: http://edesk.rr.com/repository/659/e4_install.html You do indeed share bandwidth, I'm not sure if you get an extra mailbox (it may have been offered, but I didn't ask or take one).
