@MarineBob Ahhhh. I figured there was something else needed these days. I remember with the rotary phones how they would sometimes give a single “ding!” when lightning would flash outside. It made a thunderstorm all the more ominous.
Necessary? Probably not. But since it’s there, you might as well keep it there in case you were to sell the house. Or maybe you could convert it to a jack that has that and other more useful outlets like USB’s with it.
I have an Obi device for voip. I unplugged the physical phone line that runs to my house and plugged the Obi into my internal wired phone harness so I can bring voip access to every room in the house. I figured since the harness runs through the walls already, I may as well use it. Your needs may vary.
@Azlotto i scan and send attachments, haven't sent a fax in many years. I actually have a plain old telephne line, POTS, which came in handy when all power was lost and the VOIP went down.
