Thanks for that info and the same for every one else who has responded.


After a (little) research it seems it is NOT a cheap option and in any event 
my ISP does not offer any
support - well it will cost them revenue.

So it is looking like a good idea but involves a lot of outlay without saving 
money unless you are a
large business - and I am not just retired trying to same it (money that is).


So no changes in more or less 20 years, when I was using ISDN/2.
