This is what I ended up doing. I did connection plar (non-opx) and put ring 
number to max, which is 10 (on my platform at least). Not quite what I was 
looking for but close enough. Realistically, if nobody answers after 10 rings 
then they are probably not there to notice the issue anyway.

Still feels like there should be a better way though... is it really that 
unusual to want to use a port only for outgoing?

Under the FXO port try "ring number x" where x is how many times the port 
should ring before VG answers it. I don't have a VG at hand right now to see 
the max value of rings possible but it could accomplish what you need.

During normal operation, the analog line is just for outgoing local 911 calls. 
Incoming calls come via WAN from the PRI at another site. But the telco rings 
the local analog line simultaneously with the PRI. During power outages, staff 
plug in a POTS phone in order to get the incoming calls via the analog line. 
During normal operation I need to ignore the ringing on the analog line so that 
calls don’t all show up at the PBX twice.

OPX to an FXS port maybe?

I'm curious what the use case here if you never want it to answer.

What is the best way to accomplish this? I could swear I’ve done this before, 
but I’m drawing a blank at the moment... connection plar opx to somewhere that 
never answers? There must be a better way than that.
