True, and I sit partially corrected.  I suppose I could fish out my
old US Robotics modem, connect it up, plug the phone line into the
port on the cable modem where my phone currently plugs in and get a
dialtone.

But what, exactly, would I call?  Nothing I need to communicate with
these days has a modem on its end to answer.
