Go wireless on both PC's - way to go and share the line. We now have 5
PC's in our house sharing the one ADSL connection.

want to buy any other stuff than they already have -so I suggested if they

Get them bonding well enough and you'll have wee baby modems all over
the place in 3 weeks time too.

What exactly are you trying to accomplish?

You might have another option with the telecom adsl box, if it is the
Dlink 302 one I am thinking of it has a usb interface and an ethernet
interface and I believe it is possible to use them simultaneously, so
use the ethernet for the remote computer and the usb for the local.
