Could setup a cheap linux box, to do the routing for you.

Looks that way to me as well...

if i use Highway with no call allowance (won't need as this is purely
for 0800 internet access), then it'll cost £27 per quarter, whereas
isdn2e costs £35 for the same....

The only thing I can't find out info on is wether highway has any
issues when running via a router, as in effect I want to have the
whole network (6 clients) able to ask directly, including the
exchange server dialing in for mail etc...

I think it should be ok, so i'm basically looking at about £100 per
month for 128k access 24/7.....
makes you sick to think the adsl boys get much faster links for £40 a
month...

Regards
Geraint.
