cloned line misfeature: double caller id.

I'm with Burris on this one.

Since most homes have at least two pairs I feed both line1 and line 2 into the home wiring. I have a few line1_line2_line1+2 adapters (from my HPNA days when I used line 2 for HPNA -

WOW! You just brought back the memories of using HPNA as my home Lan.

I still have the boards, somewhere in my stash, and had to use them many years ago before wireless became usable in my Hi Rise apartment...surrounded by steel and such. That, together with ICS(yuch!) and W98 rebooting every hour was where it was at the time. Lantastic also worked for me..

And now we complain about the most trivial things..

Yes, I started down the HPNA route in the dialup days using ICS. Even though HPNA was supposed to be compatible with regular phone service, from a security standpoint I decided to use Line 2 for my HPNA network and disconnected Line 2 at the outside box. Was a big moment when both computers could be on the net at the same time! Continued using it with broadband too - with two kids' rooms having connectivity via HPNA. Yes, I have assorted hardware lying around. You wouldn't by any chance have a spare bridge, would you?

I don't think I have ever had a use for a bridge. Sorry..
