That doesn't solve the situation of people getting an increasingly
large number of pagers and cell phones and fax machines. Those devices
*need* phone numbers.

Not to mention that there are probably a lot of people who use their
second lines for things in addition to, or other than, dialing out on
modems.

Which is not to say that you are the only one in your situation, but
there are tons more people who aren't, who need the phone numbers.
