Really?
I suppose you've dealt with as many ISPs as I have... some of them give you
a cable of some sort, some of them send you a router to put on customer
premises. In the latter case, some people just connect the ISP CPE to their
network, but you and I make a tiny DMZ and route everything via a router of
our own.
Once I used the exact same kind of Cisco as the ISP, which looked a little
superfluous. But that's really a small thing. A few watts, a power cable.
Back to the phones.
If you have proper control over your phones's baseband, you're relying on
the telco as a proprietary black box to forward your packets and calls. If
your baseband's a blob, but you do have a proper DMZ between your hardware
and the baseband, then you're relying on two black boxes. IMO: Much of a
muchness.
