Wow. You got hosed. I would have screamed bloody murder at those SBC
bastards till they ate the charge.

I once had Comcast Digital Voice. That required "professional installation"
because at the time, they refused to let you pick up the embedded
multimedia terminal adapter (EMTA) over the counter. All the guy did
was swap the data-only TA (cable modem) for an EMTA. He plugged it into
the electrical outlet and backfed the voice connection into a nearby
phone jack.

Those bastards did not get away with charging me for the installation visit.

Today, I believe they'll mail EMTAs to you.
