   I have phones 'all over the house' so connected; 3 panasonic cordless, 1   
   att cordless, plus some old corded phones almost never used in the   
   garage and one in the kitchen where there is a cordless which is the one   
   I use there.  Every room in the house has an rj11.  I disconnected the 2   
   lines connected to ATT copper on the outside of the house because it   
   interfered w/ my VoIP connection which is done w/ a Obihai device.  And   
   there's a rj11 corded fax machine which doesn't work w/ my voip, but my   
   winfax works over voip.   
      
   At one time I was paying ATT over $60/mo for 2 copper lines.  Now I have   
   more voip lines and they are free.  I only pay about $4 a month to   
   'maintain' a cell plan I almost never use.  I don't carry a cell and I   
   don't normally turn the cell on; I use the voip numbers.   
      
   There are a lot of places to get the Hayes AT commands; the wp has an   
   article.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hayes_AT_command_set   
      
   I also have old dialup modems.
