I wound up totally overthinking it.There’s a phone port on my cable internet modem. All he had to do was make a call and plug our phone in. Done.
I’ll likely get a new phone set with one remote phone so we have one near the modem and one somewhere else on the first floor.

Nice. A few years ago I got a plug in modem for my older desktop. I was betting back then if internet goes down landlines would still work. You can still get a free netzero account. It works if I need it.
