It's crunch time......I emailed the company
dealing with satellite connection a week ago and they didn't even
respond...probably means it won't work up here in the cold North (near
Glasgow).
Anyway due my father in law's health, having a
bad fall the other day and MIL not being able to get me cause I was
downloading emails, honestly I was only on for 5 minutes (no reception on
mobiles either) I must now look at putting in a second line very
probably
HH.
Can u good fellows give me some advice please
:
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.
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...
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. Can the
IBM internal modems be replaced with ISDN or must I fit PCMCIA or use
serial
connection.
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.
5. Can you get full 128K
connecting to BTinternet Anytime i.e. one free dial up and one 1p/min dial
up
6. Anyone had problems
connecting Comfort to HH.
I really want ADSL, but at the rate BT is
going I
think it will be 2020 at least.
Any help appreciated
Thanks in advance
Campbell
