Sure, lots of different ways to accomplish the end result. My orginal
question was based on the fact the customer has a paid subscription from
this company to provide a "service", the customer will likely not want
to mess with that service (and/or copyrights), and may just force the
issue with interfacing at the RCA jack level. E.g., don't rock the boat
with "change" when the customer is already stressin with the unknowns
of voip, etc. (This is a non-tech customer.)
