I have a VOIP connected to my VM router that is set up as a modem as I use a
ASUS router with far better control over security settings and wider Wi-FI
despite being moved from a Hub 3 to a Hub 4 last week.

The VOIP is connected via a small box to a spare port in hub -> router.
The bex is connected to my mobile phone unit which has four mobile phones
around the house.


I got fed up with paying for a land line and this way cost of calls are
included for 9.94 pm (+ vat).

Box was 30 sterling one off payment.

What on earth is the reason to connect to a BBS ?

I would have done the same for a BT wired service as well which is basically
what they offer any way except to charge more money for call etc.
