   I am so foggy on this stuff. I remember the acronym POTS for "plain old   
   telephone system". There were 28k serial modems, 56k modems.   
   I still have something:   
   Zoom 56k USB Modem: it has an RJ11 jack for phone line.   
      
   We still have 2 phones in the house connected to 4-wire phone line via   
   RJ11 connectors, however the phone wires don't go out to the telephone   
   company, it's connected to our comcast 'gateway' gizmo.   
   I guess the correct name is Xfinity, not comcast.   
   We are just about to get rid of the telephone feature with comcast. We   
   never use those phones. We been talking about it - in the next few days   
   we're going to do it. No more comcast television either.   
      
   I remember using AT commands via serial modem - I don't know the proper   
   name for what the AT commands are called. Anybody?   
   Anybody know an internet reference listing the commands?   
      
   When I woke up this morning my brain was having the memory of the AT   
   commands. I would like to tinker with them for a day or two, but I don't   
   know if that's even possible with our comcast gateway. If it is maybe I   
   could communicate with the public library using my   
   Zoom 56k USB Modem.   
   Any info will be appreciated.
