Okay, thanks all for the feedback!<br>
<br>
I accidentally sent this response to one person who replied rather than to the list so I'm going post it here too:<br>

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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>

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.<br>
