Good reply, as you didn't previously mention before (I don't think) that you
wanted to get rid of the landline & its cost.
I also have cable, so just hooked into my normal phoneline & ran a cable &
socket to the vicinity of my PC.

Getting rid of your landline eliminates the ability to fax normaly, as
you know,
I gather the landline connection is part of your normal phoneline, so
why not just continue to use it that way for faxing only?


Great question... the truth of the matter is that I recently switched to
high-speed cable. I come to realize that 90% of our calling is now done
through our cell phones and we are paying $25+ a month for the landline.
This surfaced the question, why not save $300 a year. I started to
talk to others who have already gone down this path. It sounds the
only major problem with getting rid of the landline is how to fax.

It looks like the leading possibility is using an online service. I am
still very hopeful that there might be a way to get either the computer
or all-in-one to the cell phone.
