Hello Warpslide!

 AA>> Yes.. Voip is the key to start getting blocking/routing
 AA>> features ..still reluctant to change them to 100% Voip
 AA>> only.

 W> I've never looked back.  The only reason we still have a
 W> "landline" is for our alarm system.  I use voip.ms and pay
 W> $0.85 /mo for the phone number and $0.009 per minute no
 W> matter if it's inbound or outbound.

Which Voip service are you using?

 W> They charge in US$ and I think I load $15 every 3 or 4 months..

That's a whole lot less than 2x$35/mo   :/

 W> I have the cable modem and the ATA plugged into battery
 W> backup so if the power goes out the alarm system can still
 W> dial out.  I don't use it for anything else, I just make &
 W> receive the few calls I do use on my cell.

I thought that maybe the dry-loop lines (intended for digital)  
were still powered somehow?  The only thing incase power goes  
out would be to have a UPS running the voip/phone equipment in  
the house?
