My VOIP provider gives me two lines although I don't need them.

The manual for my ATA doesn't seem to say what protocol it uses.  Maybe 
the protocol depends on the firmware.

I see SIP came from the IP community, and most other VOIP protocols came 
from the telecommunications community.

I see a SIP phone is connected between the router and the computer, like 
my ATA.  Why would it, but not my ATA, let me pull up my modem with Safari?
