Help for the clueless, can't dial out on a landline phone
jimates:
If she is only going to use the new line for long distance and doesn't mind using it as 2 separate lines that is sometimes the easiest way to do it unless there is someone to reconfigure wiring.
this is the intended configuration. But it could mean changing the existing wiring configuration to keep any voltage from the PHONE port of the Obi.
RonR:
It's going to be very confusing unless all phones are connected to the OBi's phone port and only the OBi's line port is connected to the landline. If you do that, you can get everything you want:
7-digit local numbers and 911 go to landline
long distance (1 + area code + number) and international (011 + country code + number) go to SP1
There will be no **? involved.
To accomplish this, make the following changes:
Phone Port DigitMap : ([1-9]|[1-9][0-9]|911|**0|***|#|(Msp1)|(Mli)|**9(Mpp))
Phone Port OutboundCallRoute : {(<#:>|911):li},{**0:aa},{***:aa2},{(Msp1):sp1},{(Mli):li},{(<**9:>(Mpp)):pp}
Line Port DigitMap : (xxxxxxxS4)
ITSPA Digitap : (1xxxxxxxxxx|011xx.)

Yeah with me in Colorado and her in Hawaii I cannot imagine trying to get her to deal with the wiring. She was very positive with the idea of using 2 lines so simple is how we roll from here. She is just happy to have free long distance and 2 cents a minute to her friend in Japan.
Ohh since you seem so knowledgeable. Is there a way to get the Obihai to dial an emergency number? I figure if there was a bad situation and the closest phone was the obihai line one they might try 911 and if there is a way to set that up, it might be a good idea.
RonR It's great that it *can* be done but I know she won't be okay with losing the phone in the kitchen and her bedroom so with her being okay with 2 lines I think she's probably setup the best way for her. I'll also admit that the {{{[}]}]} stuff sort of freaks my brain out like it's algebra.

Line Port DigitMap : (xxxxxxxS4)
Better for this particular situation, where all 7-digit calls are considered local (eliminates the four second delay):
Line Port DigitMap : ([2-9]xxxxxx)
RonR:
By default, 911 goes out the landline.
You can also access the landline directly by pressing # first. You will get a landline dialtone and can make a landline call at that point.
