[Electronics-Talk] phone service through router

[Christopher Gilland]

So, given that I used to run my own PBX asterisk system which was voice 
over IP, and also may I add administrated/configured it from absolutely 
ground 0, I'm curious why having an electronic ringer vs. having a 
physical bell would matter? I just don't see how that's logical. I'm not 
arguing what's being said. I'm just trying to better educate myself and 
better understand you all's reason of thinking here.


Chris.
