Linksys has a nice wireless/wired unit that is great, I have been using mine in a big church for some time now, and it works flawlessly, and was easy to set up.

The best way is to setup the DataBox to the Demarcation where Bell used to be, then it will make all your existing jacks work with the VoIP.  It is pretty kewl eh?  Bell has to whip something up fast to be able to combat what VoIP is doing now.\n\nHogan

Anything is possible but your DSL modem will almost always have a second jack for your phone..use it to avoid any issues.

Back in the old days, I use a modem to connect directly with my friend who also used a modem. I am not sure if you can still do that today.

I would just put in a CAT 5 network connection (or 2) to each room.  Then you can buy digital networked audio products and use the CAT 5.  It is the most universally supported data format available today.  I would make a small closet or reserve a broom closet for a server and router, and bring a cable line or tel. line in for the modem connection.

The best option for you is to sign up for  callwave's internet answering machince (http://www.callwave.com/landing/corp_wam.asp) .\n\nbut you have call waiting in your phone and have V92 modem, you might enjoy the feature called modem on hold. read detail about it here:(http://www.infopackets.com/channels/en/windows/gazette/2003/20030604_receive_phone_calls_while_using_dial_up_internet_connection_part_2.htm)\n\nA little more expensive option is to buy this software for $30 (http://www.internetsoftsolution.com/pages/download.htm ).\n\nI remember, Radioshack was selling something similar for around $40  and you should check that too. they install some hardware instead of software.\nHope it helps. the bottom line is that you can do it.

Internal modems generally go into any free PCI slot, but I have to agree with the first poster- I have NEVER seen an internal cable modem.  Those have always been external devices- there are some which don't have Ethernet ports and only connect via USB  (which I'd avoid).  For a cable modem, you want one with an Ethernet jack- that way you can use a router if you want...

Try tata indicom, the speeds are blazing high and their customer service is very good

If you must stay with dial-up internet, then pretty much any V.92 modem is what I would recommend (if your isp supports the v.92 protocol, check on that first)  V.92 will alert you when you get an incoming call (via software that should come with it) and put your internet connection on hold while you take it (with a limit, forget how long).\n\nIf you want to try out linux, you'll need to get an external modem or hard modem.  Most internal modems are winmodems, which need special windows drivers to work.  You can find winmodem drivers for linux, but it can be a pain in the butt.  An external modem is good for windows too, because windows won't have to use resources to run it through software anymore.  Probably won't notice a difference, but there is one ;)

They are probably cheaper, but their reliability isn't so good yet.  For proper VOIP you need to have a the voice packets marked as high Quality of Service so they get faster passage through the internet, and there really isn't any good system for doing this yet.
