Keith and Mark,

Where I am I continually get 50,666 or 52,000 when connected to BT or Force
9 from a standard PSTN line :o) usually download speeds of between 4.5M and
5.96M as opposed to HH at 6.75-7.0M. As far as I am aware this is solely
down to the traffic between you anf the point at which the server you are
looking at actually, physically is, so although you get a bit more on HH it
still can vary a lot from area to area and from site to site.

Hi Phil,

I have Home Highway and a BT Speedway card in the main PC shared via
Win98SE
ICS. works well.

I also have an Ignition TA (Motorola Bitsurfer) which I use on the laptop
or
for a second ISDN dialup. The 2 analogue ports on the TA can be used as
another 2 analogue lines. The situation I have is this (numbers are not
real
BTW!)

01493 774001 = Analogue 1 with CLI
01493 774002 = Analogue 2 with CLI
01493 774000 = Digital Number

Using the TA, the analogue ports become analogue lines of
01493 774000 Line1
01493 774000 Line2
thereby giving a 2 line PBX.

You can still only ever have any 2 circuits in use at one time but the way
I
use it is

analogue 1 = published personal number for me.
analogue 2 = ex directory number not given to anyone.
virtual pbx on digital number = used when working from home so I know it is
work calling without them having my "true" home number. If the TA
is
unplugged the virtual pbx numbers either return a message saying "the
call
is not compatable withthe line" or Number Unobtainable.

Also, when I had 2 analogue lines prior to Home Highway, the dedicated
internet line gave a max speed of 41333, usually 40000, sometimes 38666.
The
voice line with the phones on sometimes only got 33600. Plugging the same
modem into the analogue ports on Home Highway gets 50K :-)

A router would be nice, (in fact I have an Ascend Pipeline kicking around
if
I ever get it working!) because I wouldnt have to have a particular PC
turned on, but using ICS does give you the ability to use <Mark - insert
the
name of that dialler program here please!> to automate dialups to
different
numbers at different times.

Keith.
