ADSL & HH Questions, Sorry....

["Steve Dickson" <steve@xxxxxxx>]

I'm just about to move house and will consequently loose my ADSL connection
:-(  , no cable either.

I've been looking at a HH setup as an alternative to normal dialup, price
wise with a decent ISP and the BT Together scam it's not much difference in
price really.  My question really is will I see a real difference between
HH
and 56K modem to really justify the extra expence.  I understand that ISDN
can't perform some of the compression that a normal modem can and thus
there
ain't any real advantage for http etc, only really coming into it's own for
downloading zip files, jpegs etc.

I'm not a heavy user and won't have a any servers running 24/7 for a long
whilst, just want a decent connection for genaral email and home surfing,
eventually comfort use. Unfortunatly don't really have the luxury of time
at
work anymore since leaving the telecoms industry.

What will I need to share the connection across my network and wireless,
currently using an adsl router.  Will a cheap ebay isdn router do the same
thing or am I missing the point, I see there are some fancy lan routers
from
3com etc?  I see the NT9 now has a usb port built in - can this be used
with
ICS across XP pro / home edition,  win2K, and 98SE without any significant
perfomance issues.  There won't be significant simultaneous use of any of
the machines?

Thanks.

Steve
