ISDN questions

Mills

Im ringing up to get hi-speed installed tomorrow, but Ive a few questions before I do
Firstly, I have 2 computers, one downstairs one upstairs, I need to have both of these with access to the line and also a phone downstairs, the Eircom box will be in the study downstairs beside the phone and computer...........can you split these hi-speed lines up like ordinary lines? Basically i need the thing to serve 2 phones downstairs and the 2 computers, but only 1 phone at a time......... Im making a mess of explaining this I know How do you go about splitting up the line? like an ordinary line? What sort of cable do I need to take from the box to the upstairs comp? And do I take both channels upstairs or is each channel a seperate line? (the upstairs comp wont need more than 64k)
Secondly, Where can I get as cheap a TA as possible? The eircom one is £90, I have no bother ordering from the UK or Going to shops in ireland, wherever is cheapest...........there's no difference between the ISDN lines of ireland and the UK like there is in the telephone lines is there?
I hope yis can understand those questions.
thanks in advance

No idea about the first question, for the second, I think you can get a TA in IT Direct of Parliament St. for about 70 quid. Get the Eicon Diva internal card, best pings and software overall.

Mills

Ah thanks Ive been told there's 2 phone POTS and 2 Internet POTS on the hi-speed box so that hould answer my first question

Ah Mills, don't join the evil realm of LPBdom...

Famous last words: I'm waiting for cable.

Mills

Its not so much the low ping as te stable connect and lack of packetloss that I want
My line/esat combination is just TOO unstable and useless

Yes I agree about the DIVA. Class card, have one myself. That HiSpeed wall box sounds nice if it has 2 pots as well as 2 RJ45's as the standard ISDN box only has the 2 RJ45's.

Mills, for ther first question. Get and ISDN modem. This has two Phone connections on it. These can be split like a normall line.

The other option is to get a cable that will convert the ISDN connection into a input for a normall phone.

I would imagine that the second option would be difficult. I will talk to you about it on IRC, when I´m in Ireland. Cause I´ll look at the IDSN modem and explain better.
