Hi again Peter,

The last time my mom was in England it cost her the equivalent of $4 for a
cup of tea in Harrod's - glad to hear that London hasn't gotten so big
that
you have to dial the area code for every call!

Oh no you do, you wouldn't get very far without it! There are two codes for
the capital, one for the central area and another for the suburbs. That's
how it was when I lived there from '01 to '04. London is growing year by
year, all the asylum seekers think the streets are paved with gold and flock
there hoping to get rich quick. LOL. They'll be waiting a looong time!

Forgive my stupidity/insatiable curiousity but how is it that you have to
disconnect your Internet to send a Fax? Please bear in mind that I'm a
complete techno-peasant (when I studied computer programming Windows 3.1
was
brand new). Here in Toronto, Ontario, Canada we have these things called
splitters which allow two phone cables to feed into one phone jack. The
line
from my DSL modem feeds into one side and the line from my fax modem
(built
into my lovely rebuilt Gateway notebook that my mommy bought me) feeds
into
the other. I have to use a filter to plug a phone in to the other phone
jack
in my bedroom to filter out the noise from the DSL and/or fax connection.

Rebuilt Gateway notebook? Tell me about it!
Now you're teaching me something here (emphasis on you're), that's exactly
the setup I have here. My Zoom X5 all-in-one Modem, Gateway, Router,
Firewall and 4 Port Switch is connected to the Modem port on the DSL filter
and the telephone plugs into the Phone socket on the same filter. That then
plugs directly into the telephone wall socket. I was under the impression
that I had to disconnect from the Internet and utilize the empty Modem port
on the DSL filter by connecting my Zoom V.92 PCI FaxModem to it. That's how
I thought it worked! LOL.
Right I see how you've got your connection set-up, but does your method
work Darlene?

Are you perhaps living in the Outer Hebrides where these technological
advancements are not available?

HA! HA! Nice try!

Or is it that you just have the one port on
your homebuilt computer (I've got ports coming out the ying-yang - I've
got
an ethernet connection to my DSL modem which then runs a normal phone line
to
the aforementioned splitter).

My custom built rig's NIC connects via ethernet cable to the Zoom X5, which
has 3 more ethernet ports for a LAN and a USB port for another PC or Print
Server to connect to. (Nar-nar-na-na-nar! LOL) :-)

Your nosy Anglophile Luddite Canuck e-correspondent,

Dar

You're very welcome Darlene! Keep it coming, hey!

Peter
