What happens if the remote end's POTS line has an incoming call, would I get the call waiting tone, and would it be possible for me to answer that call? Another issue is CID, the person I am calling theoretically would be getting the CID of the POTS line I am "borrowing". Then there is that chance the remote POTS line I am borrowing to hop-on the PSTN side with one that uses a measured rate plan (pay per minute, like cells), and that person would get pretty upset if someone else used up all him minuutes/money.
