How many computers can you connect to one DSL line on seperate DSL modems? (Not routed)?

The computers are going to be on opposites sides of the house, so I'm not going to use a router or any wifi; but I don't know much about DSL.

discofro, my dad asked me to try this with his connection. We had two computers, each with an ADSL modem conecting to the master socket via a two way gang plug. It was a BT line and AOL broadband. The answer, unfortunatly, is ONE. Once one is connected, the other will not connect no mater how hard you try. Your conenction and setup may wield diffrent results however.

well, you need to understand that bandwidth will be shared amongst all computers connecting to the same line. You should calculate how much bandwidth every machine will get, from the whole connection availabilty, and try not to make it less than 28kbps for each.
Let me get this right, you are networking but not using networking hardware.

If you are using a DSL modem, in effect, you are using a router. Set the router to use NAT you have to.

You are networking from across the house. If you dont use WiFi ( and I have to ask why not use it) you will have to drill holes in the walls and or floors to run ethernet or USB cables.

Depending on your bandwith..how much you are paying basically to a newbie...you should be able to run 5 or so CPUs (computers) unless you are streaming video r music..then you will have a problem
YOu can only have 1 DSL modem on the line. So I'm going to say 1. If you want more, you need to put in a NAT router.
Just use a hub. Thats the easiest way. They are super cheap too.
Only 1, have to have seperate lines
