So a modem will        > be no longer any use                     I have a VOIP connected to my VM router that is set up as a modem as I use a       ASUS router with far better control over security settings and wider Wi-FI       despite being moved from a Hub 3 to a Hub 4 last week.              The VOIP is connected via a small box to a spare port in hub -> router.       The bex is connected to my mobile phone unit which has four mobile phones       around the house.                     I got fed up with paying for a land line and this way cost of calls are       included for 9.94 pm (+ vat).              Box was 30 sterling one off payment.              What on earth is the reason to connect to a BBS ?              I would have done the same for a BT wired service as well which is basically       what they offer any way except to charge more money for call etc.                     Vincent                            --- Mageia Linux v9 X64/Mbse v1.1.1/GoldED+/LNX 1.1.5-b20240604        * Origin: Air Applewood, The Linux Gateway to the UK & Eire (2:250/1)       SEEN-BY: 1/19 100 120 16/0 18/0 19/37 25/0 21 80/1 103/705 104/119       SEEN-BY: 105/81 106/201 114/10 123/0 25 130 180 755 3001 3002 4040       SEEN-BY: 128/187 129/14 305 135/115 142/104 153/757 7715 154/10 30       SEEN-BY: 154/50 110 700 203/0 218/700 220/6 20 30 90 221/1 6 222/2       SEEN-BY: 226/18 30 44 50 227/114 229/110 112 206 317 426 428 470 664       SEEN-BY: 229/700 705 230/0 240/1120 5832 250/0 1 2 3 4 5 7 8 11 13       SEEN-BY: 250/14 17 266/512 275/1000 280/464 5003 291/111 292/854 301/1       SEEN-BY: 301/113 320/119 219 319 2119 322/757 762 341/66 342/200 396/45       SEEN-BY: 423/81 460/58 633/280 712/848 1321 902/26 2320/105 3634/0       SEEN-BY: 3634/12 27 57 58 60 119 5020/1042 5075/35       PATH: 250/1 3634/12 154/10 301/1 221/1 320/219 229/426           |
