2. You should be placing the OBi between your "POTS line" and all your phones. That way, no phones will ring, even once, on blocked numbers. Connect the OBi's PHONE port to the house phone wiring but ensure that the house wiring is completely disconnected from any other phone line.
The OP doesn't want to do this because some features don't work on the OBi.

My understanding is that the OP only wants to use the OBi212 on his emulated POTS line. What features of that cannot be made to work?

My intention for getting the Obi212 was to hook the line port to my POTs phone service, and the phone port to the analog phones in the house. This worked, but some features did not work, for instance call waiting caller id.

Due to a death in the family, I've not had a chance to get back to this project. I will try the recommendations folks have posted here, and will report my progress.
Thanks for all the excellent suggestions, it is appreciated!
