Actually, Jay, sure don't. I don't know what the answer to that would be. Wish I did, and wish it was cheaply available. That's one area that VoIP providers have an advantage. If all else, I could probably plug even a Grandstream into another network and connect up to take phone calls, using strictly VoIP. Again, I'm talking small here, nothing even remotely enterprise related. I've been asked this question with regards to our system, and my answer has been we can't afford that level of redundancy. We use XO for our PRI, whether they could temporarily forward our number in the event of a disaster, I don't know. I'm looking at the possibility of using their VoIP service to connect to Asterisk. In that case, then yes, I could use their control panel to forward to my cell phone. As far as I can tell, our Asterisk server still has to be on their network, so moving our server to another location with an Internet connection probably would not help. I'm more worried about disaster situations than component failure. Last year's hurricane season, and our scare with Rita in the Houston area prompted a lot of reevaulations (we're right on Galveston Bay, a hurricane will produce 16 ft surge, we're about 5 ft above sea level, we're history if one hits).
