Hi Roger, I'll be getting back to you over the next day of so. Stephen and Others, feel free to jump in. The last couple of days of posting and Internut watching have been too much, and I'm backed up right now. Later, Frank ps - I think that S. Temple must have stepped away for a moment. <g>

Roger, In your statement <I'd be interested in any thoughts people have about how the phone connects to the PC. Could it work when the PC is off? Is the phone connected to the PC, which is connected to the network, or could it be the other way round? First of all, since coaxial cable will need to carry video, voice and data channels simultaneously, each channel will take up a different frequency, as your probably knew. So my illustrated point to your question: << Is the phone connected to the PC, which is connected to the network, or could it be the other way round >> is a simple illustration found at veda-home.com Notice to the right the HFC Access/Infrastructure, followed by the service drop, then into the house with a "splitter box" continuing on to your appliances. Of course the live feeds are there, but don't forget the high-capacity surge protector your going to need before the splitter ! <gg> If you want to do a little more research, this was the article leading up to the diagram. veda-home.com Given time as Frank has mentioned, you'll be able to direct your calls anywhere you want from a more developed splitter-box, (assuming that's what the majority of users want). Hope this helps, Temp
