There was actually a story in USA Today a couple of days ago where a family tried calling 911 on their VoIP service during a burglary only to be told by a recorded message that they must "dial 911 from another phone"... http://www.usatoday.com/tech/news/2005-02-28-voip-usat_x.htm This story accurately highlights some of the issues. - ferg -- Adi Linden <[email protected]> wrote: Who would in their right mind rely on MSN Messenger for 911 access?
