That is incorrect. What gives you that impression?
listening to others' conversations, but I am not knowledgeable on the
subject yet, and I take your word for it.
That is incorrect. A POTS line will only be able to provide ANI/ALI
information as configured by the LEC providing the POTS line, which will
not match the subscriber's call that you are routing through it.
Understand I am not a phone guy, and just learning Asterix.
This is what I don't understand.
If I provision my customers to my switch I know my customer's source phone
numbers.
Why can't I write a script in Linux/Asterix that says, if Source phone
number equals my client, and destiantion phone number equalls 911, move this
call to POTS Line A, a POTS line with an area code/phone xxx-xxx
appropriaite for the region where that customer resides. I match this up a
tthe time I initially provision the customer. Then I have multiple POTs
lines A,B,C with each of the unique area code/phone yyy-yyy of the unique
regions that we serve. When customer 2 in region B makes a call, my script
says if call comes from customer B and destination =911 switch to source
POTS line B. Again programmed into our switch at time of provisioning based
on the customer's address or typcial phone number for their area. Whay
can't that happen? Why wouldn't that comply?
Is it that there is not enough 911 lines to match the number of potential
callers? Or is it that that type of scripting is not possible based on
designs of Asterix and PBXes. OR is it that you are saying that its not
possible to get a variety of custom unique numbers yyy-yyy to a single
location? Would it jsut mean that you need to have a switch in each region
yyy-yyy? Isn't that how my Cell site is already designed? I have a cell
site every 5 miles radius apart. I see no problem in putting a Asterix
switch and a few 911 capable pots line at each cell site location, and
terminate calls at the first hop. I may redirect/transport calls using VOIP
to a remote gateway after I check that the destination is NOT a 911 call.
But as long as teh checking happens at the first hop (within 5 miles) why
would it not work. This could be a problem for people that buy into Broadcom
and have to buy a $30,000-$100,000 switch software, or name brand MetaSwitch
($150,000 hardware), but not a problem for the Asterix VOIP provider with a
hard cost of under $1000 per gateway plus POTs line costs.

That is incorrect. What gives you that impression?
So if you ahve a local regional switch and terminate local regional
offices to that switch, the Pots line at the providers switch would give
an appropriate location for the subscriber to 911. Is that correct?
