Martin is on the same page as me, whew it was getting lonely out there. As far as the consumer is concerned the “looks like a duck, quacks like a duck” test is really simple. Can I plug my standard POTS phone into it? If so, and it uses a PSTN number, it’s a duck. Aswath disagrees, and makes some good points!
