Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When a person connects through a regular modem using POTS, they are creating a dialed circuit connection. The modem dials the phone number of the ISP and establishes a connection over the traditional phone line. This is different from a dedicated circuit, which would be a dedicated line to the ISP, or an ISDN or T-1 circuit, which are different types of digital connections. A VPN circuit is an encrypted connection established over the internet, not POTS.
