Using an OBi100 & OBi110 as POTS Pass-Thru

Here is what we are trying to do.  We will have an OBi100 in one room and an OBi110 in a different room.  They will both be connected to the same network.  The OBi100 will have an analog phone connected to it.  The OBi110 will have the analog POTS line connected to it.

Both devices are unmanned so there is nobody there to press buttons or dial digits.  Calls will be received randomly on the analog line attached to the OBi110 and they must pass through the network to the OBi100 so the analog phone rings and can be answered automatically.  It would act as if the OBi devices were not there, a seamless pass-through.

Similarly, calls will be made randomly on the analog phone connected to the OBi100 and they must go out through the analog POTS line connected to the OBi110. Again, it should be a seamless pass-thru as if the OBi devices were not there.  However, we can program our equipment to press special keys if necessary when making outbound calls.

Can you tell me how to configure both OBi devices so they work this way?

Thanks.

Doable (thanks RonR) with each Obi on separate accounts and the Obitalk network as the intermediary.

Thanks.  Can you give me more details on how to set that up exactly?

Basically you're forwarding calls (both directions), so ignore the forking part since it doesn't apply.
