sharing connection question

[Buddha]

Hey...

I'm contemplating getting iBurst 6gb... and i was wondering is there anyway to split the account that i get 3gb and my bro gets 3gb... so his freaking d/l's dont stop me from d/l or surfing?

thanks


EDIT: or what about a linux fw? like smooth wall or BSD? can u 'split'/monitor it there?

thanks

Assuming you're both going to be sharing the same modem, and the connection, you can get addons for SmoothWall etc that allow you to control bandwidth usage of any particular PC...I haven't dabbled with that yet though...

Perhaps just limit his speed? www.netlimiter.com could work.. there are others as well.
