I NEVER mentioned Taoman in this thread, whoever that is. That name appears Once in this thread and YOU wrote it.
Secondly I KNOW your fax info is completely inaccurate , see this thread http://www.obitalk.com/forum/index.php?topic=17418.0

I have a mult-function printer/fax and am considering using one line for old school faxes. I read on one thread here that a user has success if he dials "*01" before the number. Isuspect this is a feature access code to lock the ATA into a specific CODEC, turn off the jitter buffers, etc . Looking further, I can not find an explanation of this specifc feature code "*01". Anyone know about this feature code?
You are correct. The post(s) you may have seen referring to pressing "01' before sending a fax probably refer to a feature code [self programmed]. If one wants to use the port on the Obi for both voice and an occasional fax you may be able to do that by programming a "feature code". It is your choice which code is used. I used *99 [an unused slot] but never got faxing to work that way using a fax modem and gave up. However it did enable occasional use of my dial-up modem and that was more important to me. But if you are using the port exclusively for fax the 5921 firmware does indeed have the capability of the settings for fax only, etc you describe in your other post. There are also settings in the codec section dealing with fax and the rtp section. I'm making no statements whatsoever regarding the efficacy of all of those settings.

3) If I do not want to use asterisk, and use the Obi202 only to access Google Voice, with all voice calls originating and terminating on asterisk, can I use multiple simultaneous outbund calls on a single Google Voice account?
I been using this feature for some time now. If you want more that 2 simultaneous call, follow the instructions in https://twosortoftechguys.wordpress.com/2018/12/05/how-to-use-an-obihai-200-series-voip-device-as-a-gateway-between-google-voice-and-freepbx/, basically it's changing the preset 2, under Voice Services -> SP1 Service -> Calling Features -> MaxSessions.
There are no hacks needed, no violations of TOS, Obihai just need to remove the options altogether!

...
For the record, your reply "I did type an error in question 3 but it should read "If I do not want to use the Obi202 phone port for Calls.." is an outright lie, since you followed up with a post about using Asterisk.
Then explain to me how the origial post #3 Makes any sense at all with the error I made?
"3) If I do not want to use asterisk, and use the Obi202 only to access Google Voice, with all voice calls originating and terminating on asterisk, can I use multiple simultaneous outbund calls on a single Google Voice account?"
"I do not want to use asterisk", but then say "with all voice calls originating and terminating on asterisk". Obviusly there is an error there somewhere as the statement contradicts itself!
As for your "party of whiners" that I did not attend but you apparently did, I do not take any unofficial forum as containing any official contet. Just like the BS posts that go on here in this forum from supposed self professed "experts" whom themselves do not really know.
I do not believe that Google would be stupid enough to think that they could make such a legally binding clarification in such an unofficial manner in an unrelated forum.

It didn't make sense, his whole reply was off.
Simultaneous calls can be made, it just require configuration changes. Just don't expect the experts to give it up.
