| 121332 | 2003-02-14 23:08:00 | My parents are shifting to a new house and will carry over the Jetstart to that new address. Problem is they are also taking the Fax Machine with them but they want to have the Fax in the same room as the computer rather than in another separate room as it is now. Question in regards to the filters that you can plug into the wall sockets. I understand there is only one phone socket in this room so would the following arrangement work. Plug a standard double adapter into the wall socket, of the two slots available, one goes to the fax while the other available slot would take the jetstart filter into which you would plug the lead from the modem. Of course they don't want to run phone leads being draped between rooms and there is I understand no wall sockets in any of the adjoining rooms that they could plug into and run through the wall. So, would a double adapter with a fax and jetstart filter combined in this case work ? Any other suggestions short of getting a tech to call in and wire in a specific wall socket for the fax in that room ? Cheers all. |

The way I have it set up is - wall jackpoint - double adapter - then one end going to filter and then to fax, the other going straight to adsl modem. > So, would a double adapter with a fax and jetstart > filter combined in this case work ? yep might pay to check the new address for compatibility for jetstream especially if they are moving further away from the exchange or to a new exchange to make sure that it is compatible. sam m |

| 121338 | 2003-02-15 01:09:00 | Thanks Tweake and everyone else for your prompt replies, I have since accessed the DickSmith WebPage and looked up some information there as well. I will get them to go down to DSL and get what is required. They have checked with Telecom, they will be on a different exchange but they are well within the jetstart coverage of both the main exchange and a sub exchange. Thanks all for your assistance.
