Several Options

1) Buy an ISDN equppied smal router/firewall. This would have ethernet out.
You'd network all your PCs who then all access the Internet
through the ISDN router (This is what I do with a cisco 1603). The Vigor
2600 is a good choice

2) Buy an ISDN card for the laptop. This connects to the HH box via std
Cat5
pathc leads/cabling. bear in mind this would *not* share the ISDN channel
being used by the main PC - so if both PCs are on the Internet you have no
free channel for voice. (this is your option 3 - the distance limit is the
100m cat5)

Dean
