Yes, but why?

Would it be cheaper to get a second line from the cable company and
eliminate the TelCo bill?
Some people like regular # for 911 safety.

Or some need to use 1980 technology acoustic modems to have their
pacemakers checked.


1. Can't an acoustic modem work with a VoIP line?

2. In many respects, a cell phone is better for contacting 911 than an
ordinary land-line. A cell phone connection, for example, can't be cut by
the invading goblins.


Yabut a cell phone system can be easily overloaded in a big emergency.
