It would work for as many machines as you might care to allot addresses for.
Although otherwise non-networked machines will tend to adopt the interface
address of their point-to-point dialup links as their one-and-only address,
it is more elegant to view a pair of linked point-to-point interfaces as
independent address-wise from their machines they are attached to, and able
to pass packets destined for any network address regardless of whether they
are bound for their controlling host or no.
I make no sense. What I meant to say was, NT is very hairy.
