Hello, Peter.

I go through my cable television provider, Charter Communications.  The phone 
is just a standard, run-of-the-mill phone you can pick up at any store.  All of 
the phones are plugged into a special telephony modem that is legally 
registered with our local 911 service.  The modem cannot be moved as it is 
registered to this address (meaning if we decide to move, we tell the landlord 
to leave it there).

The telephony modem has E911 (enhanced 911) that tells 911 that we're going 
through a VoIP system and what our true home address is.

Except for the fact that I cannot use an analog modem through the service, I'm 
quite happy with it.  I have free long distance to the entire United States and 
Canada, as well as free caller ID, voicemail and call waiting.

My telephone, television (over 200 chanels) and Internet (4MB/256K) is a total 
of $105 a month (not including taxes!).  My wife an I are rather pleased with 
it.

Later,
Sean
