You don't need a V90 connection to go to your old accounts, just an
internet connection and the correct passwords and logins. Your V90 modem
should be
pluged in behine the filter which must be the frost/last thing plugged
in the phone socket and there must be a filyer for every phone/fax/tele
alarm in the connected in the house. The V90 and the ADSL modem work
perfectly well together, ven at the same time I believe though I have
never tried it

Just go into your DUN settings and tell them to use the ADSL modem, or
make new DUNs with that as default modem.

Yes, forget the V90 modem, it is just useful for sending faxes, which
Broadband doesn't do and forget the numbers you used to use. Just
connect to your
current provider via broadband, the rest of the settings to access your
old accounts are on your PC, your provider doesn't give a tinker's cuss
how you connect there or with what, all it wants to know is your login
and password.

If you want and if it helps, you can create a new dial-up connection
from scratch. If your under XP make sur you choose Dial-Up when creating
a new connection. The telephone number you want is P8,35 (yes like that,
or at least it is here) though a simple * (asterisk) seems to work too.
