[asterisk-users] Re: 911 versus 9.911

[Steven]

I have been thinking of sending a page when asterisk dials 911.
beep "Attention, 911 has been dialed by " dialing-extension " whose callerID is " callerID.

I think an email would also be appropriate for HR/facility records.

Does anyone know how to send an email from the dialplan?
I assume I would need an agi for this, but I would want to spawn it off and not affect the call to 911, but also not wait for the 
call to finish either.
So, the second question is, how do I spawn a second call flow without affecting the first?

I have enabled outside extension '911' and '11' for emergency
service.  This way users can either dial '9911' or '911' to get to a
PSAP.  I would rather have a couple accidential 911 calls than a
death because someone forgot to dial a 2nd 9.  When people are
freaking out they fall back on muscle memory.  Many won't pay
attention to wether they need to dial 9 for an outside line and then
911 for emergency.
