Analog Versus Digital - Who Knew?

Telephone lines are split into 2 main divisions, analog and digital. Most houses run the analog lines. Generally commercial businesses run the digital type systems which provides them with voicemail and a routing system to various offices.

Heres one precaution to consider with digital lines that most folks aren't aware of. You can't plug a regular computer / laptop modem into the digital lines; it will often fry the modem circuitry. You can use a phone line tester and test for over current before plugging your modem into the telephone line. This will test for digital systems, contact with high voltage wiring and other telephone line conditions like reversed polarity and no signal. Most folks don't have this type of equipment but if youre unsure you can call the IT department and they will know what to do.
