We're sort of getting off topic here, but the spa can be configured
to handle incoming fax calls (dropping them to its fxs port), can be
bridged on the pstn side with a Red phone, and can forward non-fax 
calls to * for executing whatever one wants via the dialplan, etc.
I'm just amazed at the stuff that little box can actually do, but
finding the appropriate combo of parameters is a bitch. ;)

I'm still 100% in agreement with you to cover the due diligence for
the 'what ifs', however that is accomplished for each * site.
