I didn't have the intention of starting a VoIP vs. (Analog) Public Switched Telephone Network war. There will always be a case for keeping this old technology as insurance against a VoIP/ Internet failure. We cannot kid ourselves that while VoIP services are improving all the time they still don't come close to the MTBF of an analog phone line. To prove my point, who on this list has never had a VoIP network service fail their client after a year in service? Back in the old days when I worked for Bell you could install a business line and never have a service call for 6 years or more. Just my opinion...... H
