Ummm, in an office of x people, where x is some arbitrary integer > 1,
is 1 PSTN line for emergency services sufficient ?? Personally, I would
think it isn't, but haven't quite determined what number is sufficient.

Consider, an office of 50 people, and a small fire breaks out, how many
people will call the emergency number?

Substitute a small fire for any other emergency, but I suspect that most
emergencies would generate multiple reports. Perhaps someone has some
data on this?
