Thought I would post on my setup.  I just purchased and setup Obi110 with 2 Google Voice accounts (mine and my wifes).  Setup was very easy and is working fine.  I even figured out how to have home phone have different ring tones for each gv account.  My landline, a Comcast line, is connected to the line port.  I have not used this Comcast number in a long time and mostly incoming calls on this line are telemarketers.  I like to have this connected to my Obi110 for e911 purposes, but I don't want it to actually ring my home phone.  I want it to go straight to voicemail.  So after playing around, I got this to work by:  Under Ring Settings, Ring Profile A, changing ringtone 10 to blank and then setting line port to default ring of 10.  Bingo - works as I wanted.

An alternate (slightly more elegant?) way of stopping the ringing on the LINE Port might be:

Physical Interfaces -> LINE Port -> InboundCallRoute : {}
