Which was probably a total failure during the power downing ( can't call
it outage when it was done on purpose ) in California and all the cell
towers that dropped out. Someone needs to start rethinking the
infrastructure for the real future instead of fantasy-land... Didn't
think I would ever say that I missed Ma Bell...

Tell them it is required by fire code to be on a POTS line not a
VoIP line. While that isn't true everywhere, in many places it is
(just like emergency elevator phones).
You may look into getting a resale account with the phone company
for POTS lines so you can bundle that in.

I had one of those "my antique alarm system doesn't work on your
ATA, and I know you said get a POTS line for the alarm but I
ignored you" calls.
Was trying to troubleshoot that. Nothing major.

What are you trying to accomplish? My Alarm panel has this built

I didn't realize how many varieties of such a thing there might
be.....I guess I'll have to get eyes on it.

Line Exclusion device. I found a few online. I remember putting
one on the
hall phone at a school. It was on one of the main lines of the
school. The
kids could use the hall phone unless someone in the office was
using that
line. Saved them from buying another line.

Oh, geeze.... I remember how they worked.... line isolator?
Exclusion something. Privacy adapter. Something like that.
Line excluder? Exclusion device. Automatic exclusion.
Seems like the word exclusion was in there. Google it and you
will probably
find one.
There are also line sharing devices that would block another
line if a fax
was in use.

What's the proper term for a device that will take over a phone
line if the
phone connected to it picks up? Like the device they use to put
an elevator
emergency phone onto the fax line.
