Will the 2nd port also be able to be used with a non-VOIPo account if someone had a need to do that?

One other thing I thought of. I didn't see anything in the manual about PPTP or IPSEC pass-through for home users using VPN clients to connect back to their home office. I would bet in this day and age pretty much anything will do that, but many people use this function from their home office.

Great choice for Voipo. I have been using the 502 for almost a year now with Phonepower and have had no problems what so ever. Sends VM notification to all my handsets unlike the 286. You will be quite happy with the results.

Right now it's kind of an all or nothing deal with provisioning the way GS handles that.

I can't promise this, but what I was thinking about earlier is possibly putting something in an "advanced" CP which allows users to put in the basic info for the 2nd line (third party info) and have it be stored in our provisioning. That way we still provision it, but it appeases those who want to play with another account somewhere or whatever vs being completely unused without it affecting anything.

Any thoughts on this?

Why appease? If you've designed your "product model" to minimize problems for your support department ... and if 1% or less of your future client base has the awareness and capability of messing with the adapter, why bother at all? The other 99% of your customers will be as happy as a pig in slop if they get a dial tone when they pick up the phone ... and all their incoming/outgoing calls connect every time.

Excellent thought. I couldn't have said it better....
