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

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....
