Yes POTS is still alive and rings.
One point:
The Modem connected to POTS to provide DSL has to synchronize to work - notice
the LED marked SYNC. After connecting the line there is a delay for sync to
gain hold then we are connected and ready to use. Having two Modems on my end
will not work, since two modems can not talk -SYNC UP to just one Modem- at the
Telco. ANY TELCO MODEM will work just fine - I got 5 all different brands, so
no "number" checking is done in the modem, AGAIN with the requirement that ONLY
one may be connected at a time to the phone line.
If I understand correctly:
Cable does use an ID number in the modem to work, this is how you are charged -
by this number, not by the cable connection to your house as I wrongly believed.
Question: Will a LinkSys work behind a cable modem?
