Depends on the speed of your line - this is what happened when I got 2MB You usually have a couple of boxes, depending on the service. For data you usually have a digital broadband box mounted on the wall, which handle a max capacity of around 8MB. The fibre leads plug straight into this. From this ThinEthernet cable (on mine) was run as my media, which I converted to X.21, and plugged into a cisco 2610. I didn't have a battery pack, mine is just powered from a UPS - but you probably have some kind of backup on the line as default, which is their own UPS. If your using the line for voice to, theres more than likely a MUX to go in somewhere. Seems like my box does everything in one - but may they split it up with you?
