   THAT i can understand :)  it wasn't referenced in your original post which is   
   one of the reasons why i was confused...

   i've done similar and it is one of the reasons why i still have my POTS line   
   out here... i won't get rid of it until forced to by the telco... copper lines   
   work even when the internet is down... yes, if the lines are broken, then   
   neither works but still, i'd rather have copper lines for emergency purposes   
   when most other things are down...   
      
   [rhetorical] how can one called their ISP about an outtage when their phone is   
   VoIP?? ;) [/rhetorical]

   so no experimenting with VoIP for POTS callers of either type? ;)
