:I have a question about using optimum voice through the phone jacks in my house--
if I understand it correctly... (which i probably don't)
mbs uses the houses cable line- which is plugged into the modem-- a thats is then run from the modem to the phone- a signal and a dial tone can then be heard in the phone--
IF I were to plug a phone line in from the wall into the optimum voice modem then would every phone jack in the house carry a signal-- meaning I could hook a phone up to any phone jack in the house?
