voice-net
Hackish way of referring to the {plain old telephone system},
comparing it to a digital {network}. {Usenet} {sig block}s
sometimes include the sender's telephone number next to a
"Voice:" or "Voice-Net:" header; variants of this are
"Voicenet" and "V-Net".
Compare {paper-net}, {snail-mail}.
