1. A method comprising the steps of:
- monitoring a subscriber loop for signaling associated with a call, the subscriber loop carrying an analog POTS channel and a derived POTS channel;
responsive to subscriber loop signaling on one of the channels, determining whether the call is processed using the analog POTS channel or the derived POTS channel; and
processing the call using one of the channels, according to the determination.

Abstract
Systems and methods for integrating analog voice service and derived POTS voice service in a DSL environment are provided. One embodiment is a system comprising: a first communication path for carrying plain old telephone service (POTS) voice signals between a telephone-type device and a subscriber line of a telephone network; a second communication path for carrying derived POTS voice signals between the telephone-type device and the subscriber line; and a switching mechanism configured to switch the telephone-type device between the first communication path and the second communication path.
