Bob I have a gateway with a V92 modem. The first thing is you cannot make outgoing calls. Tour incoming calls are limited to appox. 4 min. I have a phone plugged into the back of the computer now, it sounds better. But you do not have to. Just use a splitter on the phone line. The biggest problem is finding a compatible ISP. The big boys (MSN,AOL,Earthlink) do not support it. Some of the less expensive ones (NetZero, Juno) do.

For one of these to work optimally, i.e. be able to make/take voice calls while online, is it true that I'd need to plug another telephone into the modem, or could we just pick up on any of their existing extensions? -- BOB in jersey at Juno dot com To unsub or change your email settings: //www.freelists.org/webpage/pctechtalk To access our Archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PCTechTalk/messages/ //www.freelists.org/archives/pctechtalk/ For more info: //www.freelists.org/cgi-bin/list?list_id=pctechtalk . _______________________________________________________________ Get the FREE email that has everyone talking at http://www.mail2world.com To unsub or change your email settings: //www.freelists.org/webpage/pctechtalk To access our Archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PCTechTalk/messages/ //www.freelists.org/archives/pctechtalk/ For more info: //www.freelists.org/cgi-bin/list?list_id=pctechtalk
