Re: Limited broadband allowance - how to enforce in the house during the day

["noel_pilot" <HA@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Netgear DG834G adsl modem/router, also have an Apple TimeCapsule with
wireless AP that I could use instead if easier.  No hardware currently
running throughout the day pc/server wise.

Looking towards getting a mac mini server in the next six months or so.

Thanks

Noel
