Apple's stock was in the dumpster and morale was at an all time low. Thanks to the iMac and a more manageable product line, Apple is once again, a major player in the industry. Anywhere you have a telephone jack, you can connect a Mac or PC to share your Internet connection, multi-player games, printers and file sharing. Connecting two or more computers via the HomeLINE allows internet connection without having to get a second telephone line and another Internet account. HomeLINE permits sharing of a single Internet connection, allowing two or more users to surf the Web at the same time without the need for a second phone line or Internet account.
Users can share printers, exchange files and enjoy multi-player games.
A nice feature about HomeLINE is the computers can be anywhere in the house where there is a telephone jack. Different radio frequencies allow for simultaneous HomeLINE network and phone access over the same wire. The first step is to install a HomeLINE PCI board into each computer. Next, use the included phone cable to connect the HomeLINE card to the telephone wall jack. The third step is to install the necessary software.
