Yes, Scrapps, sir...I understand that... But I am responding to your information about the ZOOM HomeLAN product, <https://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=8961800> and there is no indication that this product is xDSL... It's fast between computers, but the connection between your home net and the dial-up ISP is not enhanced, except that more than one user/computer/terminal can access the ISP simultaneously. My whole confusion came when you told cudawuda that he could cancel his second phone. Message 9023198 CUDAWUDA's question seemed to me to be address the situation where one has a second phone line in order to be on the internet and be able to receive voice calls. I just am dense.... I don't see why we're discussing the features of xDSL in the case of the Home LAN products that use the phone line(inside the house) to interconnect appliances/computers... This "ethernet" does not extend outside the house... And though you can make a call while playing a game between two computers on the Home LAN, I don't believe it is advertised as possible to make two separate calls on your single phone line---one to your ISP and one to anywhere else. The Home LAN does not change the way you connect to the internet. So if you're dial-up before you link your home computers, you're dial-up after.... Right? I guess I'm just not seeing where you don't have to have two phone lines if you want to send and receive voice phone calls while on the internet. I would love to know that my whole interpretation of this question is wrong....cause I'd sure like to have only one phone line! Tell me I'm wrong! --thanks Fred
