Directing certain outbound calls to the line pport.

Hi,
I have SP1 setup to use VoIP.ms. They charge a really low rate for their service. I would like to bypass their service and put all local outbound calls onto the line port which is connected to my land line. I am in area code 207 and my local exchange is 585. Their are also a couple more 207 exchanges that are considered local by my telco.
Is it possible to program the Obi110 to force these local calls to the line port?
Thanks to anyone that can help.
By the way, I see must people are using Google Voice as their voip service. I tried that but had an ongoing problem with the conversation breaking up on both ends.

What format does your local telco use for dialing?  Do they support 7-, 10-, and/or 11-digit numbers?

Not sure what you are asking but when calling any number in the 207 area code I just have to dial the 7 digits. Any number outside of 207 I have t0 dial 1 and the 10 digit number. When calling within area code 207 I can dial using either 7 or 11 digits.
Thanks for the quick reply.

Physical Interfaces -> PHONE Port -> PrimaryLine : PSTN Line

Physical Interfaces -> LINE Port -> DigitMap:

([2-9]11S0|[2-9]xxxxxx|1207(aaa|bbb|ccc|ddd|eee)xxxx|<**1>(1xxxxxxxxxx|011xx.))

where aaa, bbb, ccc, ddd, and eee are local exchanges.


            [2-9]11  ->  PSTN
             7 digits  ->  PSTN
Local exchanges  ->  PSTN
  11 digits/011+  ->  SP1

Thank you very much for all the help. I think you have almost got me there. Could you explain your commands a little bit further. Specifically...

[2-9]11  ->  PSTN - ?
7 digits  ->  PSTN - I think you are saying all 7 digit calls go to PSTN which is not quite what I want.
                             I just want the local exchanges to go to PSTN. The rest of the 7 digit calls go to SP1.
Local exchanges  ->  PSTN - Definitely what I'm looking for
  11 digits/011+  ->  SP1 - ditto
Thanks again

211/311/411/511/611/711/811/911 will go out the LINE Port to your PSTN line.

I think that is what I want. I will give it a try and let you know. Thanks so much.
