It's an internet-based phone line (VOIP). With the service I'm using, I bought a Cisco network phone line adatper, which plugs into my network via ethernet and has a phone jack on it.  The place where I'm living has phone jacks in the walls, but I've heard the traditional phone services all go online anyway, so I'm not sure that service would be much better. The service I'm using now is quite a bit cheaper than traditional phone service.
