Hi folks,

I have a question:
We are getting a PC for Christmas and I would like to use the=20
internet etc...
Should I get BT HomeHighway or wait for ADSL?
Ideally I would like to be able to use the phone at the same time as=20
the PC.
If I go HH should I get a TA or an ISDN router (do I need both?).
Eventually I would like to connect several Computers to a house LAN=20
and have internet access from any.
I also intend to get Comfort, whill this work OK with either HH or=20
ADSL?
I am hoping to keep the cost down so I thought I would go for BT's=20
Talk'n'Surf Together with HH, =A344.99 pm including free voice and data=20
calls evenings and weekends and some? free calls, apparently not =A313=20
worth as it was with just HH.

We don't have access to ADSL yet.

Also is there any problem with installing HH in the loft (node zero=20
to be) and running CAT5 to the study?

I have an old 486/66 with dual serial ports, could I use this as a=20
router/firewall (linux?) with a TA??

Thanks alot,

sorry for the barrage of questions.

Cheers,

Chris Williams
