Can anyone tell me if it's OK to plug a modem into the handset cord on a
telephone? I'm asking this because the modular phone in my new dorm room is
hard-wired into the wall. Arrrghhhh. (No, I can't ask them to re-wire it.
You're not supposed to have computers on the phone line in a multi-occupant
room. Everybody does it anyhow, at least in the dorms with jacks instead
of hardwired phones. Arrrghhhh, again!)
