Ah. I suspected that, but I don't really know how it works.

When I connect, are there a limited number of slots open? Like the old
days of dialup, when only x number of physical modems were hooked up at
the ISP's digs? Does the system use someting simiar to NAT? Do I have a
unique IP address when I connect?
