If a location use both VOIP and PSTN, as the VOIP is redundant in terms of 911 emergency, would that still be required to provide the e911?

But IANAL, of course :-) How about if you provide something like skypeout (which does not allow inbound calling), there's a requirement for PSAP to be able to reach you back - but its not available...How about if you only provide inbound calls to say, call center - would you be required to provide e911? :) This is going to be a pain, that's for sure. -alex _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Biz mailing list [email protected] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-biz _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Biz mailing list [email protected] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-biz
