If you want to run CWI (Comfort Web Interface) then ISDN is the way to go
as
you cannot run a webserver over ADSL (BTs anyway).  HH works great.

That's what I have done Chris.  My HH box is in node zero beside Comfort.
Digital port one is extended by CAT5 to my study so I can access the ISDN
straight from that machine if I'm working on the server or something.  Port
two goes to my server/router machine in node zero which normally provides
access to all the other machines in the house.

Yep, this is just the level of hardware that "L" loves (so I'm
told).  Some
of the "L" guys on this list could tell you more on this subject.
