I am considering switching to broadband. IInet offer a one port
Belkin Router with VoIP or a four port.
My intention is to transfer my telephone account and computer
connection into one account.
Around the house I have four telephone sockets. Two have an ordinary
telephone handset on each. A third has a cordless phone connected to
it. The fourth has a "double adapter" with one line going to a
phone-fax and the other to my iMac for dial up connection.
What is the preferred set up under these conditions?

Merv ,
You preferably need to know where your incoming cable arrives ,
and then how the other points are connected to it !
The incoming line needs to connect to the Modem / Router ,
but the phones , all of them , need to be behind a filter or filters.
The optimum is one filter , and then all the phones behind it ,
but if you have to , you can put a filter at each and every phone,
cordless base ,or fax .
If you have a security alarm that dials up , that needs to be behind a
filter ,
and then all the phones behind the Alarm dialler.
It can be a bit tricky setting up that arrangement .
If you need more email me direct !
