<div>I have a question, we have some locations were I'm just planning on putting in a PRI, management also wants analog lines incase the PRI is down and someone calls 911. Is there a way to use asterisk to seize a phone line from the fax machine?
</div>

<div> I don't want to have to have an analog line that only gets used in the very rare situation with the PRI being down and someone needed to dial 911 (other incoming and outgoing calls would be routed over a private T1 to another location), but I don't want to just tap into the fax line because there is a chance that someone could be sending or receiving a fax at the same time.

<div>I found this: <a href="http://www.twacomm.com/catalog/model_LSR-1.htm">http://www.twacomm.com/catalog/model_LSR-1.htm</a> on an internet search, anyone have any experience with this (or something similiar)? Would it work with asterik?

<div>On a related issue, at locations where we have 3 or 4 phone lines connected to asterisk and they are all in use and someone dials 911 we want it to disconnect one of the active calls so the 911 call can be made. Does anyone know how to do this? Would I need to use a device like the above or is there a way in software to do this?
