I remember the $10 a        SD> month second lines. If I did get a POTS line, I might add "distinctive        SD> ring" and just use that line for voice and BBS.               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.              Daryl, WX4QZ              ...
