Have you ever been in a hurricane? Unlikely that your POTS line will work when there is 2 feet of standing water and every Telco cross connect box is submerged. In most of the natural disaster situations I can recall phone service went down before electricity did, and in nearly all them the cellular systems (although over congested / circuits busy) were the most reliable systems. _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
