503108 2006-11-29 23:53:00 this will probably sound really newb, but see how you have dial-up, ISDN, adsl etc do they all run along the same phone lines? newb. (10067)
503109 2006-11-29 23:58:00 Dial-up and ADSL are on the same phone lines but I think ISDN needs a digital line. CYaBro (73)
503110 2006-11-30 00:01:00 Can't speak for ISDN, but DSL and voice/fax/modems all co-exist on different frequencies...that's why you install a filter on the line that the phone/fax/modem is on to keep the cross-talk from higher freqs out of hearing and scrambling the rest of the lower frequency stuff.

..just Googled ISDN: "(ISDN is) Digital network with higher speed than found on the traditional telephone network. Even though ISDN uses existing phone lines, it does require specialized equipment. Because the network is all digital it can easily send voice, data, and video over the same line simultaneously."
