RE: Operation Ghost Click

Many states have regulations regarding how long dial tone needs to last
during a power outage.  Iowa's PUC (the IUB) requires at least two hours of
backup power.  We design ours for eight hours.

Not so much.  As has been pointed out here many times before, many
people now get POTS lines from remote cabinets that have limited battery
life and fail in a power outage lasting more than a few minutes.
