Re: People are Desperate! said by joako: I'd get my fax machine out and then discover that it doesn't work because the internet is down, Fax machines don't rely on the Internet and don't work over Broadband. They are POTS devices (means they require a dial tone from regular traditional phone service). Some Fax machines may partially work on a VoIP connection if the provider offers the right codecs needed for Fax.
said by joako:And then pick up the phone to try to call a bomb threat to the ISP then to only notice the phone doesn't work because the damn intenet is down. That proves VoIP is not a POTS replacement and people that put all their eggs in one basket, often lose all their eggs at once.
And if you really are serious about calling in any threats, you should get the treatment the woman received.
