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.
I have a VoIP phone line with my cable television provider, and I can use a
modem. (The one or two times a year that my cablemodem service goes down,
my phone service is usually still up and I can use dial-up, and have indeed
done so).
