I can't see the Dept Transportation running copper to all the motorist
aid boxes along the highway.  I thought most of your alarm panels have
moved to GSM/CDMA backup communications.  I'd like to see a fire
marshall not give a permit for having a VoIP ATA or Vonage.

It's permitted in Chapter 8 2002 & 2007 "Alternative Methods of
Communication" and these still have supervision in accordance with Chap
4 and it's sub-section. 

8.5.2.2* Alternate Methods.
8.5.4 Other Transmission Technologies.

8.6.2.2* Alternate Methods.
8.6.4 Other Transmission Technologies.

There is nothing specific with regards to voice over internet protocal
and leaves room to add new technology proposals with requirements in
future editions according to A8.5.2.2. or A8.6.2.2 respectively.

What is the NFPA?  Do analog extensions in traditional PBXes count?
