I am very tempted to disable his modem again. Got home, and there he is... even now, using my phone line. Even after our little talk the other day. Oh get this... there's been messages on my answering machine concerning a credit card and wanting a call back. Funny... the wife and I have our cards paid in full last year. Surely this doesn't mean he'll be staying longer than expected.

A show of hands... should I disable his modem? Hahaha...

why would he use the dialup if you have broadband?
i would give him the broadband and set a cap on his port to like 10k
