What I'd hope to do is plug the analog output from the ATA into the input of my home's POTS (Plain Old Telephone System, i.e., the 1970s technology). That way all the cabling I have for extensions into nearly every room could still be used. Why abandon all of that? The only downside would be that I would be providing electric to all of that (rather than pulling all that power from AT&T). Would the ATA mentioned on your webpage handle that? I mean, I wouldn't be using all the phones
That's kinda what I'm hoping it will do. But I haven't tested, yet!
Remember you'll need to cut the wire to AT&T before re-using the internal wiring.
Yeah. Good point! You might fry your ATA before you even get to use it! In fact, it would be good to test the ATA by plugging a phone directly into it before doing anything else.
