RE: Advice on connection to HH

["Phil Harris" <phillip.harris1@xxxxxxx>]

I like external modems and so on ... you have activity lights so that you
can see when you're online (even more usefull with HH) and when you're
running bonded channels (hence incurring two call charges).

I have an external ISDN TA and it works fine. I should be getting an ISDN
router shortly from a fellow group member simply for the ability to have my
networked PCs all able to access the internet without having an internet
server running 24/7.
