"The phone company achieves this little miracle by putting a POTS splitter in front of the circuit switch to split off the data service like Internet access to its broadband network, while your voice message goes on to the circuit switched network with the big CO switch just like it always has."

DenverTechie,
Fantastic answers to both my question, and P.T. Burnem's. I'm not sure if I'm more knowledgeable than I used to be, or your answer were so lucid, but I understood everything you said!

Let me ask you another now, if you don't mind. The "splitter" you mention above. Now isn't this something that is built right into the packet switched equipment that a data networker, like Ascend, might supply a telco? That's what I read about two years ago. From what I vaguely recall, it wasn't a separate gizmo(how do you like that technical term) but was integrated into the packet switch. Do you know if this is the case?
Thanks,
MikeM(From Florida)
