I know that with VoIP machines you have a lot of liberty, you can do anything with numbers and names and routings. It is up to you what you do or fake, which also kind of scares me. VoIP is completely independent of POTS, but maybe of course be connected to it or carry the traffic.
Actually, my home "POTS" is delivered via VoIP. I have a terminal, sitting on my shelf, that connects between the cable TV network and my analog phones.
Yeah, POTS is rapidly going out of fashion along with broadband gaining territory.
I recently did some work for a major insurance company, where they are moving to VoIP for inter office calls. The local offices get their local trunks from the phone company via analog POTS, T1 or POTS/VoIP similar to what I have at home. There is no reason why they couldn't use local VoIP trunks directly, but they weren't yet doing that.
Sounds familiar. A couple of years ago, a large supermarket chain here in Switzerland switched to VoIP for all telephony to and between branches. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (16.5°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
