The problem with that is they will be using their own proprietary vpn client. The phone will not have a analog port for 911 calls... What we need is firmware for multiple vpn clients...ipsec, pptp, etc AND to utilize the a analog port for 911...Then you can deploy these units without worrying about e911 or having to install a network appliance to run the vpn client of your company.
In the future everything will work...

I don't think I asked the question correctly.
I was told that Avaya has an IP phone with a built in analog line port in it. I'm not talking about VPN and IP connectivity back to the main PBX. Just a regular old analog home phone line can connect to the IP phone.
So if I had a user in AZ and the PBX was in CA and the remote user wanted to call down the street to order pizza. The IP phone would then use the analog line for the local call instead of being routed to CA and out the PSTN access in CA and be charged for a long distance call.
Least cost routing through the IP phone.
Thanks eveyone for the input.

I am not sure if I understand your question. If you are asking if there is a way to connect an IP phone via TDM or to use TDM as the talk path you have Telecommute mode available.
See below
The Telecommuter configuration of Avaya IP Softphone enables telecommuters to use the
full telephone system feature set from home. The Telecommuter configuration consists of a
PC and a telephone with separate connections to the telephone system. The PC is
connected to the telephone system over an IP network to provide the signaling path. The PC
runs the Avaya IP Softphone software, providing you with an interface to control calls. A
standard telephone is connected to the telephone system over the public-switched telephone
network (PSTN) to provide a high-quality voice path. You place and receive calls via the IP
Softphone interface on the PC and use the telephone handset to speak and listen.
For the Telecommuter configuration, you must have a separate telephone line available at
your location. You do not need an audio application such as Avaya iClarity IP Audio. When
you receive or make a call after you start a Avaya IP Softphone session, a "service link" is
established. This service link is the "audio path" that enables you to speak to the other party.
In the Telecommuter configuration, the service link is established between the server and the
telephone number you specified. If the service link is not established, you will be unable to
make and receive calls.
Requirements
To use Avaya IP Softphone in the Telecommuter configuration, you will need:
• access to your company's LAN (via dialup networking or a cable modem), which
provides the signaling path between your PC running Avaya IP Softphone and your
company's telephone system.
• a separate telephone line, which you will use to speak to and hear the other party on a
call.
Short of that you could (depending on your release and connection type place a small gateway at the home/remote office and use a form of ARS to get the LCR you are speaking of.
There is no application I am aware of that allows you to use a standard voice interface on an IP "hard" phone but IP softphones as listed above do have a form of that functionality.
