That surprises me. In Missouri, analog (a.k.a. B1) phone lines are
considered "life saving devices" and have (had?) mandates to be
available for service even when the power is out.
This is one of the reasons that TelCo equipment had such massive battery
backups.
I expect that a true analog (B1) phone line should stay in service even
without power.
I've also seen a number of VoIP offerings that include a battery backup
both in the ATA and various equipment along the aggregation path for
this very reason.
