Me too - I remember when my Dad got the nasty call from AT&T because he plugged in an unauthorized phone in the house - I guess they could tell from the additional resistance on the line. But the phone system worked pretty reliably back then - canâ??t say the same about todayâ??s misc mash of systems.

Anyway, back to the topicâ?¦ this looks like most telecom debates: people latch onto one side or the other, the fight is in the context (problem statement and the definitions) but underneath it all there are actually reasonable perspectives on each side.
