I used to have 2 BT phone lines, one is ceased now (wires still in house). If I get the 2nd line re-activated can I use that for just the computer with no Microfilter or voice/telephone calls - will it be better reliability for net access?
The original line (on dialup now) has lots of wires in the house and 4 phones.
So the 2nd line would have only the computer, and short wiring in house.
Is this a plan? Is it unnecessary expense having 2 lines. Worried that phone circuit on so many filters will be crap and a fault liability.
Was a datacomms engineer, appreciate trade off between quality and speed, but old industrial filters/muxes were £10,000 not £6-£10 !!!
Your thoughts please before I jump into broadband land (Exchange due Feb 2005)
