AOL Broadband

Hi All,

I've searched & can't find an answer, so sorry if this is a hackneyed old one

My mum & dad have AOL dial up & I've persuaded them to go broadband & wireless too. Now they like AOL & whilst I don't rate it, they're keen to stick with it. There's a desktop & a laptop, both wireless enabled but, in conversation with the customer services people (whom I wouldn't trust) they were told it is not possible to run the connection concurrently. Now I know that in general terms that isn't true - as I type, I have two pc's running one wanadoo connection, but of course AOL is proprietary stuff, so does anyone know if this is the case? bearing in mind the connection will run to a router & then out to two pc's?? I would have thought no problem, but as I say, I do not know the vagaries of the AOL set up very well.

Thx.
Punter.
