It would be simpler, but not a solution to getting the Amiga and PC
online at the same time. You would have to take one offline, switch over
and then redial. You also wouldn't be able to share files or a printer.
The idea of networking the computers is that you can share resources, so
your network is more capable that the individual computers.
