[Asterisk-Users] Re: Land line vs. VoIP provider.

[James Sharp]

What about having your VoIP gateway system placing a 911 call to the 911
answering center in the appropriate region and when the 911 operator
answers, have a message say "This is a 911 call from 123 Main Street,
Nowhere Nebraska" then connect the caller to the 911 operator.  Legal? 
Maybe.  Dunno.  Just a random thought that I came up with on the way to
the aforementioned middle of nowhere, Nebraska.
