If memory serves me, the guest account can get out on the internet if the
connection is made thru the LAN, i.e. using the network thru DSL/cable. If you

| while switching between users. You can initiate the dial up connection from
| any account, then use Fast User Switching to log on to the Guest account.
| They'll still have internet access.
