Also, it isn't very easy to 'test' either, as the staff at the 911 call centre won't appreciate your testing, and at least in Australia, it is some sort of criminal<?>/illegal offence to call emergency for non-emergency situations.
I had much the same thoughts. Currently my 911 code is just commented out for that very reason - I don't want to get in trouble for accidentally making 911 calls to test it. Should I rely on that code untested for when it is really needed most ? What are other people doing ?
I have a set of extensions I call "line seize" that are supposed to act like the line buttons on a conventional business phone to pickup a specific line and get a dial tone (I was going to add them to adsi to make the illusion even more complete), maybe I will modify those to include a softhangup when the line is busy if the user hits * or something.
In a real emergency though you would want this as simple as possible, but foolproof if you code it wrong.
PS, also keep in mind that different countries use different codes for emergency. Personally, when setting up these codes, I have tried to accomodate for all the ones I know of: 911 - North America 000 - Australia 112 - Emergency from Mobile Phones in Australia
I'm not sure what the number is in other countries, but perhaps we should allow this to be somewhat flexible enough that it can be used anywhere.
Just some additional lengthy comments to add to the list :)
