I've had less ADSL issues last year than ISDN issues!   ;-)

I can see that would work out that way, yes!

I found out that I can even transfer my current main number to my ISP's
SIP service for EUR 5 a month...

Aside from that they can give me 2 free incoming numbers in the 087 range,
and I already have an incoming VoipBuster number in my own areacode...
That would give me 4 incoming numbers...

The only thing I'd probably lose is the ability to do faxes! So I am going
to investigate that further first!
