OR... must they come from the same phone line ie: same house - different computer?
Interesting question..not a simple answer.
If they allow multiple log-ins with the same account, then, I guess, another location could get access; of course, they would also need a DSL modem.

They would have to be within the usable range of the DSL service, though. Residential ADSL is a hokey way of pumping data on top of a voice line and has limitation with respect to the distance from the nearest phone company switch.

Multiple users in the same house would use one login and a router/hub, attached to the DSL modem.
