yep. This is exactly what I'm doing. > FSX ports are the ones I want? At this point can the gateway generate > the voltage needed to create a dial tone and ring the phones?

Any other suggestions? FXS yes. They generate ring and provide battery. FXO accepts ring and battery. > And also a general question on service providers.

Most are 30/6 or somesuch (30 second minimum, 6 second increments afterward). What exactly is 'dry loop' ? I run SDSL over bare copper (no battery/dialtone) and have static IP. I know the big guys (anyone (re)selling ADSL) does not do it 'dry loop' -- that's almost exclusively SDSL land. > Oh, and local is Kitchener, Ontario if that makes any difference to > 911 routing (I have no idea how that works). That works with your provider. Typically they'll either terminate your call to the local PSAP or they'll work out something where they'll route the call another way. -A.
