I dont think that is what was implied off their web page press release (really easy to find, goto their page, goto press releases it should be the first one or two :)
They said that they would provide online access, multiple voice calls, faxes, etc at the same time on an existing telephone line (I read 'an existing telephone line' to be a pair of wires, however they may be using 2 pair since most houses are wired with that)..
But you are supposed to get everything at the same time on the same wire.. Cable modems for the last mile wouldnt allow this.. xDSL wouldnt allow this, at least not in its present implementation..
I think the marketing guys made a promise or two that they cannot yet deliver (however the article did say that there were a few new patents on this technology, which means that its new and buggy more than likely :)
No, I think they mean H.323 (voice over IP). Then you just need a box at the customer end to split out the voice packets to a telephone, and a phone switch that can send voice calls to IP. --Dean ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Plain Aviation, Inc dean@av8.com LAN/WAN/UNIX/NT/TCPIP/DCE http://www.av8.com We Make IT Fly!
