Not strictly HA, but I know several of you have some experience with Home
Highway and thought that someone could give some adivce. A friend of mine
is
getting HH installed soon and wants to know how he should connect his
computer (only has one at present) to the service. The obvious choices are
internal TA, external TA and Router. He is reluctant to go for the router
(he has only just got his first PC and so is not really contemplating
additional ones and a network) and so I suggested an external TA. However
he
says that the BT man told him that external TA's were inferior to intenal
ones, is this really true? I was suggesting this one
http://www.seg.co.uk/draytek/products/minivigor128.htm
which is 49 quid, usb
connection so no need for power supply and seems very much plug and play. I
have no experience of internal TA's nor of cheaper external TA's (I have
ISDN2e, with SpeedDragon TA and Prestige Router) and given the comment by
the BT guy I am a little confused as to what advice to give.
