good grief! Surely not? But it applies even more so if there is
only one machine shared by the family, does it not?

Well, actually it was the extreme case on the low risk end of the
spectrum, with separate machines in use.
Don't rather a lot of us have children going to university?
And don't most of them have a PC, and many of them have to clear
their rooms at vacation?
If you have two PCs in a building then you network them, don't you?

And next year?
And, if a GP has an ISP at home, why should they have a separate ISP
at the surgery? If the service needs GPNet rather than ISPs, then
provide GPNet to home as well.
It had been suggested to me that the prospect of providing ISP
service to hoards of GPs' children would deter the finace droids
from this _security-based_ requirement.
If as you suspect it is just us two then the cost is not an issue...
And remember, next year there will be more.
