Connecting VoIP Device to Home Wiring

Hi all,

I'm a subscriber of Packet8, and on their VoIP box it says not to
connect it to the home wiring in my home. I'm assuming they get folks
who connect it without unplugging the Ma Bell line and this blows the
box. If I disconnect the outside lines (no voltage on phonelines) is
there any reason not to connect the VoIP box to make all my phones
hot? I only have three phones throughout the house, and I've been
told such a box like this should put out enough voltage to carry such
a load. Just curious -- Thanks,

Ringo
