Did the "Inventor" invent this too?

An interesting read.

A firmware upgrade could not accomplish that, given that the jack is powered from the computer it's plugged into and therefore cannot maintain a real-time active state. On the other hand, a ring signal contains roughly 200 volts p-p between ring and tip, so it is not impossible (oops, this is not a landline, ring comes from a sleeping jack, LOL. I just realized my blunder here.) However, that is easier said than done and would require additional electronics, a firmware upgrade alone will not make it happen.Xen1969 wrote:http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2250249,00.asp

It occurs to me as well that by the time the computer wakes from standby that voicemail may most likely answer the incoming call. The jack is a great little portable telephony device, it is what it is and does what it does well, but I would never expect it to be a well-depended on service because it just isn't part of its design. That is to say the end user hardware does not have that ability as a feature of its design, the underlying telephony service infrastructure notwithstanding.
BTW, don't believe everything you read. Articles are written by journalists very often, and I can't help remembering how I and my fellow engineering students marveled at the brilliant intellect of the journalism students back in my college years.
