Finally, am I right to think that to make a 128k bonded call, I need to 
physically connect a cable to the port or can it be done in software? (Hoping 
against hope here, you understand - the router is likely to be positioned 
downstairs - literally in the understairs cabinet - and isn't likely to be 
particularly accessible.)

One ISDN ISP site talked about making sure that ISDN users knew how to 
terminate a call - how'd that work with a router?

I'll be keeping one 0845 modem account just in case.

Incidentally, my line service has been a LOT better since I reported the fault 
and better still since the engineer arrived. (Not that he did anything to the 
line itself.) So the secret is: report a fault - you never know how it might 
suddenly improve the service.  (Famous Last Words, I know.)
