Acknowledged. 

With only three lines, to three modems, you could do away with the small switch (acting as a MUX) and connect the three modems directly to the FB2900.

I could indeed. I am inclined to keep it though as an added layer of protection for the Firebrick - I’d rather have modems and the small VLAN switch die first when the next lightning surge hits. It saved me last year. I’m aware that this is wishful, over-optimistic thinking though and it doesn’t permit complacency.

I am thinking carefully about getting a replacement copper pair; a new line *@a.3. Was talking with my wife about it and the associated difficulties. How not to get exactly the same pair again!

I'm kinda surprised you didn't keep the line and order a 5th, seeing as its pretty much the only way to guarantee you wont get the same line.

[Weaver]

That’s a good point. I maybe should have done that. I thought I would just be denied a fifth, because when I ordered two lines before BT just said no. I tried again, much later on, ordering just one line, the fourth, and was successful.
