Re: Home telephone system



Ian

Many thanks for your help.

I have a couple of questions. Are you running a ISDN router as well
as the PABX?  I have the Home Highway unit with two analogue and two
ISDN sockets. The router is connected to one of the ISDN sockets,
would the Tiptel be connected to the other? Are you using normal
anlogue phones or ISDN phones?

Regards

Richard
