The wanadoo wedge, the orange units and the bt homehubs are all Inventel and all basically the same stuff in different shells.

Wrong
Homehub is an Alcatel unit, Orange and Wannado are Inventel.

Actually your half right, i have 2 in front of me, the original homehubs are inventel, the new homehubs are Thompson - which is basically alcatel.

--- Quote from: "Sheddy" ---I've just used the BT hub as ballast in my boat. I've replaced it with a layer2 managed POE switch running dual dlink G604t's to provide access solutions running data and VoIP over a single cat5 install.

Why two G604T's? Doesn't the G604T support virtual server mapping, which would allow data and VOIP service solutions using a single G604T over one WAN link?
Maybe you have built some redundancy in the set-up for resilience purposes, but this doesn't explain why you only have a single Layer 2 switch and single CAT-5 connection. This would seem to counter the hardware redundancy.
Unless the solution was designed only for access bandwidth, and not resilience.
Forgive me if I'm barking up the wrong tree.

The solution uses 2 broadband lines, one dedicated to VoIP and the other to Data, hence the use of twin routers. By using the layer2 managed POE switch I can use both data and VoIP over the single cat5 install and keep all data and VoIP packages separate.
The reason for doing it this way is that it enables me to use 2 businress broadband connections, 1 is dedicated to data and the other is dedicated to the VoIP telephone system. I have no problems with using 4 phones simultaniously and a large data download does not interfere with the calls.
The bottom line - it works! 4 phone lines and broadband is costing me around £100 per month with all local and national calls taken into account, plus I save aroung 40-60% off of all other calls. technology saves a fortune when used correctly! :)
(The BT hub is still poo though!)
