I have two Arris Touchstone modems for digital voice on Cox cable-modem service (one for business phone, one for residential), but neither is hooked to my firewall (which is hooked to a third modem). When I setup my business-class network service with digital voice, the Cox folks brought me a new Arris modem for voice, but told me to keep the existing cable modem for data. I was told there can be issues with traffic prioritization within a single modem if it's running both data and voice (ie: if your local computer starts spewing garbage full-speed out to the 'net, your phone might stop working). I'm not sure how seriously to take this, but that's what the installer said. You might ask and see if you can just keep your existing modem for data when they install your new voice service. If you're nice to the installer, (s)he'll probably even provide the required splitter and coax patch cables. If you're *REALLY* nice, you might be able to get them to put their demark on your backboard in the wiring closet, instead of hanging off the side of your house somewhere. :) - -- Charles Steinkuehler [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGI+B5LywbqEHdNFwRAgo0AJwPbRzE6QjZah8aCXrw7y4+KMf9AACg9u41 VKR3Lb+2REOQ9KFncxPbd+4= =RpM7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
