We have seen who uses their phones, figured we would take it a step further and see what we choose to dial out over.

Unfortunately, this poll is self-limiting, as a number of us have multiple ways to connect, PBX's, VOIP, POTS, etc. etc. etc. To make it accurate, you would need to make it so people could select as many means as they have to connect. Come to think of it, the poll doesn't include VOIP.

But a PBX or Key System isnt a way to connect with the outside world, it is a type of phone or allows use of a certain type of phone. I dont see any reason to have it on the list.

And what would a phone line by the cable company be? It isnt technically VOIP and being such a big category I would think it shouldn't be lumped in with VOIP and C-net.

Wouldn't a Panasonic 616 be considered a Key system, basically a Hybrid but it is not a line simulator. Doug
