Hi Lynn,
Yes, all this can take place simultaneously on one phone line. As I understand it, the technology here splits the phone line into three channels, one to handle the net, one to handle voice, and the third to handle the networking between PC's. As for talking while surfing, I think DSVD modems let one accomplish this. Also, if you ever get ADSL via your RBOC, you can have high speed internet access while talking on the phone, this feature is built into the ADSL package. The 'holy grail' for me would be a package of networked PC's such as CPQ is releasing along with ADSL access. That way, you can share a high speed internet connection among all the PC's in the home without buying NIC's, cabling, etc...
Hope this helps,
John |
