However, if both premises already have ADSL you could possibly (haven't 
tested but will soon as I have 2 DSL accts + passwords at different 
ISPs, work+home) use your username+password and use your DSL account 
there, at least in terms of traffic charging etc. Its a pppoe tunnel so 
it could be possible, depends on if Telstra hard-codes in the ISP data 
on each port or lets the user specify it in the username string like 
"bunnym at westnet.com.au" or "postadsl at iinet.net.au".
