SurfDoubler allows two or optionally three people to surf the internet using only one telephone line. The PCs have to be networked, but you simply install SurfDoubler onto the PC with the modem and you can surf from both machines at the same time.
This is great for those households with several PCs where parents and kids are constantly fighting for access to the web. With parental controls in the form of an optional module to prevent access to undesirable websites, it is fully safe for kids too.
SurfDoubler is easy to set up, especially if you already have a connection with an internet service provider (ISP). You simply click through the set up screens while SurfDoubler automatically configures itself. Full printable instructions are provided for setting up the second PC, and you should be ready to go within a couple of minutes of installation.
Although you will notice a slight decrease in the connection speed when two or more people are surfing, it is less than you would expect thanks to SurfDoubler's Connection Teaming. This allows you to have multiple connections of any type (ISDN, modem etc), along with different ISPs. You can even define how much bandwidth each user is entitled to, so you get the speed you want, when you want it.
