| The reliance on USB and computer support of an adapter for voip pstn
combining. uses more energy than the :
cost of the adapter
than the amount you can save on your voip calling plan!
a usb port ad cpu use >420 watts.. fugre out that you pay $0.016 per KWH
you pay over one e daollr per day in power more in commercial setting
where peak power charges are incurred.

Brain,
while the calculations can be modified to include % usage the message is
clear some adapter use more power than others. thelowest power unit is
combine-a-line, and this is by design.
