[Asterisk-Users] Caller ID and Call Parking on an analog PSTN line?

[Brian McEntire]

Okay, thanks all for the feedback!

I accidentally sent this response to one person who replied rather than to
the list so I'm going post it here too:

I didn't go into full details in my message. Part of the reason of setting
up Asterisk is because I recently signed up with VOIP service and I'm
extremely happy with it. I'm only keeping the PSTN line for emergencies and
because my local number currently isn't portable.

Perhaps I'll be able to make * play a message to incoming PSTN callers
announcing my new VOIP number before ringing the inside extensions? This
could help speed the transition to almost purely VOIP, and at some later
date I could dump incoming PSTN calls to VM or just reject them altogether.

I do have lots of services on the VOIP line, callerID included, and so I
should be able to use call filtering on that line.

Thanks for the tip about dial tone sensing. I made a couple test calls last
night and things went smoothly, but if it's an intermittent problem, I'll
watch for it. I'm running version 1.2 beta from CVS.
