Hmm, okay, so would it be possible to maintain *one* POTS line 
that is used if anyone dials "911" on their desk phone (set this 
up in * dial plan), then it connects to emergency services 
properly, and then use a VoIP dial tone provider for *everything* 
else?  This assumes we are having only one emergency at a time!

Now, if that is possible, how does the VoIP dial tone provider
get my inbound local and toll calls?  I would want my "local"  
phone number to work, of course.
