What Tony says is definitely worth thinking about. What would you do if the T1 was down for a week or two?
A gateway out at the remote for 911 / backup at a minimum. The Patton Smartnode gateways are functional enough that you could have a secondary line on certain/all phones registered directly to the gateway so that you could select it for outbound if needed and you could program the gateway to allow inbound to ring to the registered extensions...
