When I ran Irex in combination with InterMail, I had a POTS modem connected to
the VOIP port of the Motorrola surfboard cable modem provided by my ISP. It
worked but milage varied. I usually got around 20K with and occasional 24K and
sometimes dropping to 2400 Bps.  Other than the few I provoked for testing I
didn't get any incoming calls for a period of five years and so when I
converted my system from Frodo style to BSO, I didn't bother to reinstall the
POTS stuff. That was about ten years ago. Since then I am IP only. I don't miss
POTS.


Cheers, Michiel
