Someone (can't remember who) was asking if you could connect the single user BT satellite internet service to multiple computers. Feedback from a friend is that he now has this working.
 
Not possible using a gateway/ router box, as the satellite box needs some dedicated windows software to talk to - also ruling out a Linux box, but he has made it work with a W2K server running NAT and two ethernet cards - one to the satellite box, one to the stub network.
 
End result connect multiple computers without paying BT for the privilage. Also being behind a NAT makes the stub network a bit more secure.
