Hi Tam, I may have a 3com ISDN Lan Modem up for grabs soon, I'm expecting a new router to be delivered any day. A four port hub and no compatibility issues if you have a network card. Configuration is via web pages in formware.
Highway is ok, the best thing IMO is not having to negotiate a modem connecion all the time, it only takes a second or so to dial using ISDN. A normal BT line is setup to carry 2 64K digital channels, these together are given a single ISDN number but you also get two MSN numbers (multiple subscriber numbers) which can each carry an analogue call. I have business highway and it is expensive (but thn again I am not paying for it myself) Drop me a mail and let me know where you're moving to (and when's the housewarming?)

I would prefer the ISDN upstairs in the room I keep calling the >"server room" to my wife to wind her up, and the analogue downstairs. > >-------------------------------------------------------------------- >http://www.lug.org.uk http://www.linuxportal.co.uk >http://www.linuxjob.co.uk http://www.linuxshop.co.uk >-------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.lug.org.uk http://www.linuxportal.co.uk http://www.linuxjob.co.uk http://www.linuxshop.co.uk --------------------------------------------------------------------
