[Electronics-Talk] Modern Landline Phone Service

[Tim Aune]

If you have the jacks in your home disconnected from the original 
landline connection, you can run a cable from your modem to one of the 
wall jacks. This should connect all the other wall jacks to the modem 
making them usable for regular phones. I have four jacks in my house and 
they all work fine.
