Re 2 Telecom won't connect to a line without a phone number attached, for billing purposes, I am told. Please let me know if that
proves not to be the case!!!!
I'd like to use our free second line for ADSL to remove the ADSl noise from our home phone line, however they have not agreed to do
this, to date.

Out of interest why do you want this setup???

Subject: 256k Jetstart

| Howdy,
|
| Does anyone want to comment on the feasibility of hooking up two Jetstart
| accounts?
|
| a) Is it possible to get two ADSL connections into a house with two phone
| lines? (basically I mean are there issues... do they conflict with each
| other etc?)
|
| b) Does the phone line have to be connected as a phone line to get DSL on
| it? We have more than one line in, but only one is active. I'd prefer not
| to activate a second voice line if it's not necessary, but how do Telecom
| identify it without a phone number?
|
| c) I'd want to use a linux or bsd box as a gateway to both lines, hopefully
| running some kind of balancing software. Can anyone see any problems with
| trying to set this up?
|
| P.S: I do realise I wouldn't get authentic 256k this way, but it would be
| closer...
