Re: [PLUG] Verizon DSL


Edward M. Corrado:

In what might be a dumb question, is there any reason why I
can't/shouldn't use a second modem on a second phone jack (with the same
telephone number) in my house?


I don't think you could use two regular modems simultaneously simply because modems weren't designed to work that way. Although, it is technically possible, the same way FM radio is divided into multiple channels based on frequency. What you mentioned above would be like the result of two radio stations broadcasting at the same frequency; that's not entertainment.
