It's a simple choice in the setup program. In practice, you'll probably find a single modem connection too slow once you get beyond 5 to 10 users, especially if they use a lot of Web connections with heavy graphics. The modem solution is more appropriate for LANs with light Internet needs, such as e-mail or anonymous FTP file transfers. There isn't much management capability in this first release. Basically, anyone who has the Instant Internet client DLL can run any applications and go to any site.
Instant Internet does no checking or filtering.
It also lacks a log file for tracking client usage. More comprehensive management features are planned for the next release. Instant Internet works with Performance Technology's own PowerLan networks in addition to NetWare 3. All in all, if your Internet needs are simple and you want an easy solution to get you going quickly, Instant Internet is a winner.
