Unfortunatly not, but it can sometimes help with ADSL speed if that's an issue.

Even if they don't it might be less hassle getting a new line installed for just the VoIP then port existing number(s) and cease existing line(s). Especially as many VoIP providers appear to offer at least two concurrent calls per number. (Possibly in such a case you might want to automatically answer any incoming calls on the otherwise unused POTS line just to cost phone spammers some time and money.) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with undefined - http://www.enigmail.net/ iEYEARECAAYFAlHV6/gACgkQsoRLMhsZpFefawCdEXurq7eoQVcc4CE2FfjvAtc3 9yUAoIYEN5Z7qi2cMwr+E1cOVIxjmfBK =P46s -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
