So, ladies...if I'm understanding this right, I can still have my
personal phone line for fax, voice, answering machine and Net access?
Will all that compromise the speed of Net access?

We have DSL at the office, and I was really surprised at how close it
is to my cable speed here at home! From everything I've researched so
far, it's cheaper across the board. Are there *any* drawbacks?!
