Excellent, the more I look into it the more simplistic it is becoming.
It seems a little too good to be right though if you know what I mean.

I've now heard this from several people so thanks for that.  Its only
a loaner to have a look at with a view to purchase. Looks like it will
not be the one I purchase.

Thanks for the info, much appreciated.

I've now found several alternatives:

Crusader External (204) - As you suggested.  Looks good
Ascend Pipeline 15
Diva T/A ISDN Modem  - I like this one
Jtecs - Sprin TA
ZyXEL Omni.net

Did you test the above devices or has anyone had experience with any
of these?  I would be keen on hearing your opinion.

I will be connection to an Ascend Max on the other end of my OnRamp
connection, which is why I like the DIVA T/A.  Maybe its just the way
the web site has been designed which makes it look more flash then the
others.
