Larry,

Wasn't it possible to use them with an acoustic coupler and modem ?

Is this now impossible ?

Good luck getting it activated. Most cell networks won't even activate
an analog phone any longer. Call around and see what you find out.



No "activation" is necessary. 911 service doesn't require activation.

It's only good in emergencies where it really shines with power and range.
