Unfortunately they have to pay BT Ignite more for the service so they (or
any other ISP) could only do that at a loss. I use the USB service. It uses
DUN/RAS with a dummy phone number, and with ICS can be used to connect a
network. In fact I'd say it is probably easier to connect multiple PCs with
the USB service than it is with the ethernet service, I just dial in
automatically whenever my PC re-boots - voila - permanent connection.
