I use a Linksys BEFSR41B to connect both my PC and my Linksys printer server together while I am using my Internet connection. This way I can use the Internet and any of the three printers supported transparently with nothing but selecting which printer I want to use. And, since I use a company laptop as my PC, the hardware changes often. The Linksys insulates these changes from my ISP connection. Oh, in addition, I never see DOS attacks against my PC or my printer server, since the Linksys does not respond to connection attempts. Does this mean that I am an evil person, trying to cheat the ISP? Should I be charged $5/month to use my printers which cannot be accessed from the ISP connection? I think not, and, not. - James R.
