Hi: Well you'd only need 2 lines of course, but I'm presuming you're including a voice line in this that you'd want to keep free. I guess if you don't want to get another line, either wait till you get DSL or log your home machine out when you go out and either dial into it or your ISP, depending what you want access to. As for hearing audio from a remote machine, as I said, you'd have to use icecast or some other audio encoder to retransmit the audio back to you, and you'd need to tie up their sound card to do this (which they mightn't be too fussed aboutJ).
