I have landline phone service from the cable company. They provide a phone
modem that plugs into the cable outlet that has a built in battery. How it
will perform in an outage is a quesstion for which there is no ansswer, but
it's been sitting on what I only assume is a trickle charge for over three
years, maybe more with someone else before me. But he good news is it also
serves as a modem for my internet service, at no additional charge.

I'm with Mike on this one, but for a different reason. Whenever there;s a
power cut, all the cordless landline phones in this house are useless.
With my desk phone, the power comes down the phone line :-)
I have our modem/router and a couple other doodads on a UPS. Takes
care of that problem. The security cameras are all PoE so they stay
alive during power outages too. For longer outages, a deep cycle
battery and inverter keeps our toys powered.
Personally, I object to having a transmitter ( cordless phone, cell-phone)
so close to what brain I have left ... I'd rather not use one - that sort
of phone, that is ... :-)
It's all part of the upcoming zombie invasion. Your best bet is to be
part of the first wave. Get it over with.
