Let me give you a clue:  When you call BT your ISDN enquiry will have to be routed via their 'narrowband' helpline.  An ADSL enquiry will get routed to the 'broadband' helpline.  It makes me bloody mad having to pay 5-6 times what ADSL users do for a tenth of the bandwidth and then they have the audacity to route the more valuable customer through something called narrowband  :x

My set up at the moment is with a LAN which connects via a Cisco ISDN router.  During the day any internet connection is made via the router.  In the evenings I use either my 'work' PC (which is part of this LAN but also has an ISDN PCI card through which it can connect direct using an ISDN DUN) or my 'overclock' PC (which is not on the network and has to have a PCI ISDN card inserted to connect to the internet).

I want to be able to:
1. Maintain the router dial up during the day for the LAN.
2. Give both my 'work' and 'overclock' PCs ISDN DUN access.
3. My 'overclock' PC does not need to be on the LAN.

So how do I go about doing that?  If your modems come in handy then I'm interested.  But I suspect I may have to just add a PC-PC cable and share the DUN on my work PC.  However any other suggestions would also be welcome.

I may be on the lookout if anyone has a 3com/usr Terminal adapter pro.  The flat shaped thing.
