Re: chip in some change? said by Mchart:said by calvoiper:How soon we forget! Uh, the Internet was a government (DARPA) project. Without it, we might all currently be hostage to ISDN protocols. calvoiper Uh, we are currently still hostage to POTS. I'd rather have ISDN be a standard to every house, then POTS. ISDN and POTS are 2 totally different things, but ISDN does use POTS. ISDN is a dial-up service (2 dial-up connections, that runs over a POTS line), and POTS is what you use when you pick up your standard land phone (that is, if you are using the old baby bell/new AT&T monopoly service...I guess a cable phone can be considered POTS, as it is just a plain old telephone service). If you don't want POTS, get rid of your land line and get a cell phone  .
