Modem use on BT broadband line.

Hello,

I want to know if it is possible that my 56k dialup modem can be still
used over a BT phone-line that has BT broadband (i.e., a telephone line
with BT's microfilter attached but obviously using the voice line not
the broadband modem part of the line)?

Thanks,
Jason

Yes this should definitely be possible. I've kept my dial-up modem
connected, partly as a backup in case broadband ever goes down, partly so I
can log into a different ISP is I ever want to access my web space as an
"outsider" if there's ever a problem with DNS, and partly so I can use the
modem for sending faxes. Make sure you scan the computer (eg using AdAware)
for rogue diallers which could dial premium-rate numbers - as you would for
any modem that's still connected to a phone line.

Blimey that was quick! Thanks Jono.

Without offending you, how sure are you about this?

Thanks,

And it can be used at the same time - you can have 2 simultaneous internet
connections.

Because dial-up modems, fax machines and Sky digiboxes uses the voice side of
the phone line, unlike broadband, and why all those should be plugged into the
filtered side (phone side) of the filter.

Because I, and many others have done it.
