Vonage Or, since my Vonage adapter and my Cable modem both take 12VDC at under 1A each,
Or, since my Vonage adapter and my Cable modem both take 12VDC at under 1A each, an automobile that is running (like my Jetta Diesel, that can idle for a LONG time on a tank of fuel if needed). ;)
Of course, since I'm in a semi-remote area, chances are if power goes, Cable and POTS go with it. However, there's also a Wireless ISP in the area, with backup generators and redundant (wired and wireless) links out to the Internet at large, that could accept a signal from my (also 12V) WRT54G router if the router is running in client mode.
If the wires to my POTS line are down, assuming I had one, I have no backup connection.
In reality, though, I would use my cell (if it works) in the event of some kind of major infrastructure failure of that type. But if, as in the scenario pointed out, things have degenerated to the point where the power grid can't be maintained, I don't expect anyone would make a big deal about my house burning down even if I could call out. ;)
