[asterisk-biz] 911

Wed Mar 8 06:57:08 MST 2006

First of all I'm not asking you to promote my company, we sell service
to our existing clients and that's fine for us now. I like knowing that
if my clients pick up their line and has to dial 911 it's going to work.
Fumbling around for the extra 30 seconds to make sure you're on a POTS
line could in some cases mean life or death. I'm done with this subject;
I just wanted to know what companies have a good solution without
utilizing loop holes in the FCC ruling.

Wrong, these are not loop holes but what the FCC intended.

Again, wrong, you should have said: 'many providers are compliant'.
Anyhow, I'm glad you are not on the FCC board.

No, I would spend the training to tell them they have to use the
backup phone that is connected to POTS, and NO I wouldn't tell them to
get VoIP by your company.

Thanks for these huge long signatures. Do you think that a virus
coming from your machine in the form of an email will make sure to
grab this notice?
