Hi, I will shortly be moving which is great apart from having to give up my NTL 512kb cable modem as NTL in the area. aawww. I found that BT offer a service called home highyway which gives you 2 phone lines and 2 digital lines - must be 2 64k ISDN lines) and free local calls in the evening and w/e for �29. Does anyone else use this service? It is worth it and reliable? AFAIK there is no ADSL in Glasgow and would cost too much for me anyway. A second line would cost an additional �12.50 line rental so its only a few pounds extra a month for the home highway service. BT said that I can only use 2 lines at once, meaning that If I wanted to recieve incomming calls, I could only use 1 64k ISDN channel.
For this service, I need an ISDN adapter card. Can anyone recommend a decent ISDN adapter card for linux or will most work without any problems?
