     Too bad one can't have the VoIP lines work over a 56K USR Fax Modem for   
   dial-up. But, the analog lines are at least $50 or more...and when you can   
   get a MagicJack line for $50 a year, the phone company can't touch that.   
      
     With the magenta 55 deal from T-Mobile, I get a cellphone with talk and   
   text, and a data line with their adapter for $35 a month. I am paying quite   
   a bit more for a Verizon cellphone, but I also have a Verizon Mi-Fi with   
   unlimited data...which I use during ham radio traffic nets...as the Comcast   
   Xfinity has a tendency to quit during the nets.
