Please confirm if following configuration is possible
VanZemaljac:
My setup would be to have two OBi110 units (call them A and B), without VoIP providers, able to communicate with each other using the OBiTALK network. Both devices would be connected to landline (and internet of course).
Now, I have read that device acts as a gateway and bridge to the PSTN for calls originating on a VoIP service, but not sure what happens for calls originating on landline. In particular, I am interested if it would be possible to set up the devices such that: Person calls the landline that OBi A is connected to, and then OBi A transfers the call to OBi B. If this is possible, would there be too many intermediate step for the caller? Are OBi202 devices capable of this?
I need a confirmation before purchasing the units. Thanks for your help!

You only option is to use OBi110's as an OBi100 and OBi202 do not have a LINE Port.
With a PSTN line connected to both OBi110's, it's possible to configure them such that incoming calls from either PSTN line ring either or both OBi's. It's also possible to configure them such that outgoing calls can be made through either or both OBi's from either OBi.

Yes, with the Obi110. The Obi202 does not the ability to connect a landline to it. You must buy the Obi110 if incorporating a landline into the system.
If the landline does not have caller id service then only "all calls" can be routed (except through the AA). With caller id you can route any call.
Stewart:
The OBi202 cannot connect to a landline. With two OBi110 units, you can set them up so that calls to the landline connected to A would ring phones at A and B (whichever was answered first would get the call), ring only at B, or ring either A or B, depending on the caller's number. It's also possible for a call answered at A to be manually transferred to B, or vice-versa.
However, if you want the caller to choose the destination, the OBi is somewhat limited. The menu would have to say something like "press 1 for A or 21# for B."
