After several days of treading water, I finally was able to make a local call from XLite to John's house (I didn't leave a message, sorry). In theory I believe anyone should be able to make calls in your area code from XLite, and the dialplan won't recognize numbers longer than 7 digits.
To "dial out", preface the local number with "9" (this could be changed to whatever we want). In XLite (and apparently in most VoIP phones) the dial tone doesn't "pause" like it would on a touchtone phone... probably because there's no dial tone to begin with. The leading 9 is stripped off when Asterisk passes the string to the Linksys. So for example, if the local number was 1234567 you'd enter 91234567 in XLite.
Technical details will be coming soon, as soon as I can figure out exactly how many circles I went in to eliminate me writing the same thing multiple times.
EDIT #1: It takes a few seconds for the PSTN line to start ringing.
EDIT #2: For some reason a flurry of error messages pop up in the console because I had to assign a static IP for the outgoing line's host. Not sure how to get around this at the moment.
Edit #3: Now I get a "We're sorry, the call cannot be completed as dialed" message ...
Edit #4: ...but it connects when I call Sarah? Strange. Maybe you can try it out and let me know how it goes.
