Hi,
Robert appears to have covered it fairly well. I have recently (last November) connected to broadband with iprimus and agonized as you are because the instructions stated ideally one, or at most, two phones only on the one line. My line comes into the house in the lounge room then travels around the outside of the house to the main bedroom, around the back and other side to the "Office". On this line I have two handsets, a remote, fax and answering machine. I simply put a filter on each outlet before the device and the main filter before the router and all worked well. A friend of mine who had never touched a computer in his 60 odd years until just over a month ago has recently done a similar thing through iinet and had no problems. If he can do it, anyone can.

Have fun and enjoy broadband.

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?
