Connecting a POTS phone to modem without POTS port.
|
|
|
| My ISP will soon start offering some Voip service. I want
to try that of course.
My ADSL modem/router has no possibility to connect a phone,
and I prefer not to buy another modem.
I know that there are devices to which I can connect
a POTS phone, and connect that device to my ADSL router
by ethernet. But until now, I am not able to find them.
Can anybody help?

You've not tried very hard.
Linksys/Sipura make "analogue telephone adapters", to name just one. (or is
it two)
There are a number of ATAs here www.provu.co.uk

They are called ATA's -- Analogue Telephone Adaptors.
I use SPA-3000's, but that's at the top end of the
feature set, complexity, and price bracket.
There are much cheaper ones.
