I have just signed up with Primus TalkBroadBand for a second telephone line. They provide me with a box, that looks a lot like a router. I plug it into my high speed cable modem, my computer and a regular telephone into it. My computer works just the same but now the phone has dial tone. The sound is great. No one I have spoken to can hear the difference. I have a local number, and can make and get calls even when my computer is off. The price is right, only $19.95 a month (CAD), where my local phone company would charge over $30. 11:14:37 PM
