Back when I had Comcast, the TOS said you needed to pay extra to connect a
2nd computer.  I can't imagine they've ever enforced it.  Now that the
wireless firewall routers are out, I imagine that is no longer in the TOS.

I remember some information from them that would sell you a 4 port
firewall/router that let you connect up to 4 systems for $/month.  And you
paid for the equipment up front.  Gee, this sounds like the TOS for TVs in
the house as well.

Now, everyone gets a linksys and does it themselves.
