[Electronics-Talk] phone service through router

[Tracy Carcione]

I'm pretty sure my regular landline phone has an electronic ringer.  It's
connected to the cable modem, and rings fine.
I do remember some trouble with the phone and router where the router added
a loud noise to the phone signal.  I had to buy some kind of damper to stop
it.  But, eventually, we were able to get rid of most of the dampers.

Hi David, thanks for this information.  If I'm not much mistaken the
modern cordless phones use electronic ringers.  The old phone that was
connected had a physical bell in it.  I'm living in a house so probably
will get me a cordless phone system with a base station to attach to the
router if that will even work.
