No VoIP here. We love POTS with an unpowered phone, as I said. I like to think it will keep working even if the whole Internet is fried.
The whole world is moving to IP, including the phone system. Also, your "unpowered" phone gets power from somewhere, unless it's two cans and a string. This means batteries and power backup. The batteries used to be in the central office, but now are often located elsewhere, closer to the customer. Also, with the move to fibre, there's no longer a copper path back to the CO for power, for many phones. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
