Nancy,

 NB> No apps for landlines, though.... ;)

  Unfortuantely, that's true. Plus, with so many abandoning their 
regular landlines, you pay through the nose and out the wazoo to
get a vanilla landline. But, the analog lines are being converted
to VoIP. I'm using an adapter with T-Mobile, the US Robotics 56K
Fax Modem (that I originally ran under dial-up), and a program, to
get incoming faxes.

  I've got a bulletin on the BBS, warning folks of that.

.... Are you SURE it's plugged in?
