If you choose not to purchase your hardware from Demon you will require a BT SIN346* compatible DSL Modem or Router to connect your computer/computers to the broadband enabled phone line, appropriate connectivity software and hardware for your computer.

You will need to attach a microfilter to every telephone socket on your DSL-enabled line that you wish to plug telephony equipment to.

The actual computer system requirements vary depending on your choice of broadband modem or router. For simple broadband modems, these normally connect to the computer via a USB port, and require TCP/IP networking software, appropriate device drivers, and the ability to run a PPP link over ATM. Such device drivers are normally provided with the broadband modem; check the manufacturer's documentation for compatibility with your computer system.

For an ADSL equipped router, these normally connect to the computers via 10baseT Ethernet interface, and require the computers to be able to run TCP/IP networking software using an Ethernet interface.
