I've got two land lines, one cable and one traditional phone

I plug the two different types of phone lines into the same

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.

A 911 call from a cell phne doesn't give your exact location. If your
house is on fire or a loved one is in danger, that might be a
consideration. Often, 911 callers are unable to speak or answer
questions for a multitude of reasons. The dispatcher still knows where
the call is coming from and can send help immediately.- Hide quoted text -

all new phones by federal law include a GPS report of exact location
to 911.
Good luck with that.
