At present we have a monthly fee ISP with no additional call costs. My wife 
and I have separate computers and either can access internet without any 
problems. We have our own email addresses and as far as I was aware I 
cannot access her emails from my computer. We were considering allowing 
someone who is staying with us for a few months to also use our ISP and 
share the costs, in preference to eg an additional phone line. I would set 
up his computer to access our ISP in the same way as I previously set up my 
wife's and my concern was that he should not be able to interfere with or 
exercise any control over our ISP and we should not be able to access each 
others mail etc etc.
