How much longer will old fashioned modems continue to work with the evolving
phone systems that we have? When it was looking like I'd be forced to move
to Verizon FIOS a couple weeks ago, I made inquiries and learned that if you
have FIOS you can not use a modem.
It's my understanding that Verizon cuts your POTS copper and THAT is why
you can't use a modem. :) They may also be "compressing" the analog
signal on whatever device they give you to allow you to continue to use
your old POTS gear.
