[Electronics-Talk] phone service through router

[Andrews, David B (DEED)]

I suspect people are confusing and/or mixing voice over IP phones and analog phones.

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.
