Or even WalMart :-)

However, I believe the issue the poster is trying to address is
determining how long the portion of the phone system located outside
of his home will be able to operate in the event of a prolonged power
outage.  Providing power to your local FIOS-to-analog phone adapter
doesn't buy you anything if the rest of the POTS network is down.
