I want to use my OBi 110 with Google Voice and my unmonitored alarm system.

Mikec:
Making me think I should use the wiring in my house from the ADT "free" alarm we got decades ago with a new hard wired system and cheap broadband monitoring and forget the line issue.

Shale:
Easy answer: the OBi can serve as a phone line, although it is not as reliable as a central office phone line -- particularly if the OBi, router and modem are not on a UPS that will supply power long enough.

Here is something that seems theoretically possible, although I am not recommending it:

Presuming that it uses tone dialing, have the OBi translate the number that the ADT box is trying to dial to your cell number.

Now I don't know if the box won't try test calls or status update calls periodically. So maybe you would get calls at odd hours. The OBi translation part is possible.

A third party voice dialer would be simplest. It could dial more than one number. It might tell you if the call was a burglar alarm call, or if it was a basement flood.
