i'd say the modems just would not agree on frequencies and fail to
connect...

What i'd like to see, is freerealm (jetstreamgames realm) access being
allowed on a different VCI/VPI pair, so that you could use two VCC's on the
one modem... one to the "normal" internet for web browsing, email etc, and
one to JSG for gaming etc... possible?
