All calls should go through the line port, except when Google talk or a U.S. SIP is used for SP1 and chosen with **1. ( Most international calls will be made on SP1 but it would be nice to have the option to use the line port for these also.)
The Brazilian phone system has been pieced together from various public and private companies, and has become very complicated. Below is the entire system summarized from a users perspective. I do not think I am missing anything. Ron can you help me?
Thanks! Larry
