There are fax machines that are on POTS lines and a metered line that can also be used with a traditional handset on it (that would also work in a power failure).
I do understand what you are saying. Somethings are not my decision though.

Still, you have no real "survivability" from the phones. You should ask your "boss" to consider the health and human safety factor in this type of decision. You could use a local gateway and program the phones to use it to dial "911". You could place a sipx system, even what Matt is suggesting, at each branch that would be "hands off". In every option it means "something" else at the branch.

Not everything should be centralized. Aggregated, yes, centralized (IMO) no. There are a lot of efficiencies you gain with de-centralization, as you are discovering now.

    Thank you. So, it this completely a function of the SBC? If I used
    an SBC that supported this feature, should it work from a  Sipx
    point of view then?
    I'm not saying I would go this route, but I just want to see what
    my options are. If I'm going to consider putting a device at each
    facility, then I would have to also consider switching to a
    different SBC. Obviously, that would have been poor planning on my
    part. I was given a short time line to get this done at my
    corporate office because of an unplanned relocation. Oh well :)

                    I'm not clear on what you're going to have in the
            branch.
                     What is the
                    complete sequence of devices and network segments
            between the
                    phone in a
                    branch and your central sipXecs, and where are the
            connections
                    to
                    Verizon?



            He wants sipx in the HQ with the remote branch phones
            registering to
            it, using sipXbridge as the gateway for the trunks, but
            with the media
            anchored at the handsets in the branches to the Verizon
            Gateway (not
            to sipXbridge).

        Right... the feature you're looking for is:

        http://track.sipfoundry.org/browse/XX-5034

        it's not expressed the same way, but that's what you would
        need.  If
        implemented, it would allow sipXbridge to get out of the media
        path.

        That issue is not yet scheduled for any specific release.
