1.    Does HH use only the two main wires which come into the house (connected at present to master box). If it uses more, I am cream crackered, will have to rip up lounge carpet and floorboards, no hatches anywhere near. 

 

<<I believe it does only use the same two wires ... no extra cabling was required when they did mine but I wasn't watching at the time. They certainly ran no new cables.>>

 

 2.    I got BT to move my master to node 0 in the middle of the house, beside Comfort. I then duly replaced the BTmaster socket with a MK master socket enabling the  BT Master socket to be fitted after Comfort (Comfort require direct access to Master to control system, and uses another master after the alarm panel for house distribution)  (easier for running extensions from the BT box)....Do you think they will bother... 

 

<< They need the new design of "split" master unit to patch the HH box into but if you have an upstream tap for Comfort then I doubt they'll care ... I assume they'll just want to get to the current master socket.>>

 

 3.    I ordered some new laptops for work, one for me when unwell, enabling me to work from home, They are IBM M700's with k56 internal modem, will it work on HH analog line. 

 

<<Yup.>>

 

Can the IBM internal modems be replaced with ISDN or must I fit PCMCIA or use serial connection. 

 

<<Doubt it...>>

 

 4.    Can anyone advise best (low cost) isdn external connector, and good place to purchase. BT want £99 which I think is steep, am I right. 

 

<<If you're after an external ISDN TA I may have a "spare".>>

 

 5.    Can you get full 128K connecting to BTinternet Anytime i.e. one free dial up and one 1p/min dial up 

 

<<No ... you are charged for *BOTH* calls apparently however I have never tried 128k.>>

 

 6.    Anyone had problems connecting Comfort to HH. 

 

<<No Idea...>
