Packet8 looks like it has locals in 47 of the "lower 48" with local access coming to Hawaii at some point in the near future. I checked - in some states like Ohio they only hit the big cities - on the other hand, out here in California I can even get a number local to my house because they have Victorville exchanges (and while there is a relatively large population here, we're still mostly rural and we are in the middle of the Mojave Desert :) > trivially: there _must_ be a database of address-to-PSAP mappings. > Any PBX administrator (or SIP phone owner, for that matter) should be > able to figure out their address.

I don't think the 911 obstacle is impossible to overcome, but there are some issues that still need to be addressed. -- JustThe.net Internet & Multimedia Services 22674 Motnocab Road * Apple Valley, CA 92307-1950 Steve Sobol, Proprietor 888.480.4NET (4638) * 248.724.4NET * [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
