1274372	2012-05-09 22:04:00	Thanks for that :) Will let them know. I think they might have an alarm system but that would probably be remedied in the near future .. I just had a look at the ATA devices like the Linksys. Can that plug into the telephone socket at the wall? I ask b/c they probably have a house with various telephone jacks and a separate line to a room. Or can you rewire two termination wire thingies and attach those two things into the dual ATA or the Xnet router for example :confused:	Nomad (952)

Then you just plug the VoIP outputs of the ATA into those, and the ATA acts like the copper exchange from the point of view of your wiring.	ryanjames.powell (13554)

1274375	2012-05-10 03:38:00	Cheers for that. I think I'll give it some time and things like 2nd phonelines services should be adopted by more providers. For us though, we would be looking at free included trenching/equip install (not just the router modem) if we were to join. Like how we joined Sky TV. I'll read that Netguide book which Orcon gave us together with their "fibre is ready for your home" pamphlet. There is not really a lot of information out there for customers ie., how much is it to install and what needs to be involved in black and white and what happens to our phones. That one port in the Genius for example, is there a limit or could that one port support 6 phone jacks :confused: And if Orcon is ready for our address, does that automatically mean other ISPs like Xnet is available too :confused:	Nomad (952)
