I was referring to the bandwidth management which I understand prioritises
VOIP. I believe that if the box is connected via a LAN rather than directly
to the phone line, this won't apply.

I am able to select in my software Internet connection via LAN 1 (Select
this kind of connection if FRITZ!Box is to be connected to an already
existing DSL router.) Apart from the lack of bandwidth management, I would
prefer not to have to use two boxes.[color=blue]

I am sure that you are correct - but my problem with Pipex is loss of
services from time to time and ineffective customer service.
