It looks like South Central Telephone received the same porting waiver as 
Beehive Telephone. It seems like those waivers expired back in 2004/2005, if 
I'm reading this correctly. 


So that should mean that there is nothing prohibiting said port. Given the wide 
array of VoIP providers in that LATA, it should be technically possible. What 
likely is happening is that there hasn't been a Trading Partner Profile setup 
yet and thus, they don't have a way to actually contact South Central telephone 
to do the port. They just haven't had anyone motivated enough to try to set 
that up.

Also, regarding just going with VOIP, that was my first thought. However, I 
have yet to find a VOIP provider that can port our small town's local numbers.

1) If you have an ethernet network in place couldn't you just steal a pair? 
2) Why bother with converting POTs ->IP -> POTS? Just get rid of the pots line 
and replace it with a VOIP line.

Don't touch this. It'll be a support disaster and waste of your time. Have them

I have done it with FXS to FXO ATAs.

Yeah. The Linksys/Sipura SPA equipment could do that. You’d get a device with 
the FXO port on one end (I think SPA3000) and then an ATA at the other end. 
I don’t think that feature set survived the transition to Cisco…..I’m afraid I 
don’t know the modern equivalent. 

Adtran Total Access can do that too, but that’s an expensive solution for a 
gift shop. 

Asterisk boxes with an FXO card on one end and FXS card on the other…..a little 
creativity with the dialplan and you’re off to the races. That might be cheap 
enough, but this may not be practical for everyone. I’m pretty certain it would 
work, it would just burn a lot of your time. 

I’d hope somebody here knows the current good/cheap option, but I’m afraid I 
don’t.

Subject: [AFMUG] POTS line over IP network? 


Is anyone aware of a device that will take a POTS line from the telco, convert 
it to IP, and then somewhere on the network convert it back into a normal 
analog POTs line to plug into an analog handset? 



Basically, I have a customer who owns a gift shop. They have a restaurant in a 
separate building behind the gift shop. Currently, they have a POTS line that 
is strung from the demarc, and across the ceiling of the gift shop. At the 
rear, it exits the gift shop and makes its way into the restaurant where it 
eventually plugs into a phone. They want to get rid of the wire that runs 
across the ceiling because it looks crazy stupid. Unfortunately, there's a 
reason the wire was originally run that way--there isn't really another way to 
get it to the restaurant without tearing a bunch of stuff apart (lack of attic 
and crawlspace). However, I do have an ethernet network in place between the 
two buildings, and can relatively easily get a wire from the demarc to a 
network switch. 



So, what I'm envisioning is a pair of boxes. One of the boxes plugs into 
Ethernet has an FXS port to plug in the POTS line. The other box, also plugs 
into Ethernet and has an FXO port to plug in the phone. They see each other 
over the IP network, and magically transport the POTS line to where it needs to 
be. 



Do such devices exist?
