People connected their landline to this line port for 911 dialing.
If you already have a landline, you don't need to connect it to the obi, you can already call 911.
Of course we know that but it's 1 of the purposes people used the line port for.

The Line Port can be very useful where your family/friends do not live in North America. Let's say you are in USA, your family in Spain. Locate an OBi110 in Spain, then you can bridge calls from an OBi in USA to the OBi110 in Spain at no cost, then use the Spanish PSTN as if you were located in Spain. Calls can also be bridged dialling in from Spanish PSTN numbers via OBiTALk network to USA, then using a GV number to make free calls throughout the USA.
There are many examples of this type of call bridging on this forum.

That's exactly how I use it with a unit in Bolivia. (/read my signature)

Of course you can also connect another ATA (PAP2T-NA, etc.) to the Line port. For instance, if you have magic jack, you can connect it to the Line port and make outgoing and receiving incoming calls on the OBi110 Phone port. Essentially, the attached ATA serves much like an PSTN line.

That's exactly what I connected to the Line Port's of my 110's, MagicJack Plus, to use the MJ 911 feature with my GV's.
