RE: Re: Home telephone system

["Ian Lowe" <ian@xxxxxxx>]

No problem Richard,

I have a PC with an ISDN Card running as a software router, rather than
an
actual appliance..

initially, I connected this in the manner you describe (one port of te
HH
box, with the PABX into the other) I found this was okay, but could
cause
some strange behaviour, as the PABX expects to be able to control both
channels.

I now connect my ISDN "router" (PC + card) to one of the internal
ISDN lines
instead, so only the PABX is connected to the HH box.

I use normal analog phones throughout, and can use all of the PABX
functions
>from
diverts for MSN2 on ISDN line 1)

I have a bunch of the useful ones saved onto the memory buttons of the
phones.

Ian.

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
