Very often they are SIP voip solutions that barely have anything to do with landlines, other than the number pattern and area prefix.

The only examples I can think of look like a DSLR or similar. It would be funny if they looked like an 1800s camera with the bellows focus.

  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
