Anyone here from Oregon USA to help with collection pickup?

POTS is a way of delivering the last mile for telephone service. It has no bearing whatever on routing calls between switches. (There was a time when trunks between switches were many copper pairs. That time is long, long gone.) VoIP - or more properly VoI, as VoIP has existed for a much longer time than most people recognize - doesn't really affect this. If it interacts with the PSTN (in particular, if it shares phone numbers with the PSTN), then my remarks about call routing apply. And if not, whatever it uses in place of PSTN-compatible numbers have the same routing issues, so my remarks about call routing still apply. /~\ The ASCII der Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mouse at rodents.montreal.qc.ca / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B
