Well check with your DSL company first. I had Verizon I think and it worked fine, but it may be different by area or carrier.

Also since you don't use your land line....why not just unplug the phone from it so it doesn't ring anymore?

I ran my DSL for 2 years with no land line attached to the jack.

People all the time think I'm a telemarketer......my brother-in-law once told a borrower, "ma'am we make too much money to be telemarketers"

this is what you do... when they call, ask for their name (its the law, they HAVE to tell you) and ask for the number from which they are calling. then politely tell them that you are on the do not call list and dont call again.

keep a record, write down their name and number and next time they call, you can report them to the attorney general i think and get like $1000.
