Another option is to call the non-emergency number of the dispatch center and explain "this one number/address could actually mean someone is calling from either this location or the one down the street... Make sure you get this information from the caller.". Typically they can add some comments to their database at the dispatch center (they typically use this feature for making note of things like "site stores 3 million gallons of highly explosive substance", which the phone company doesn't keep in their databases). It's not as good as knowing exactly where the call is coming from, but it is a start. It might be good for people that have non-local phone numbers, too, and 911 is translated to the non-emergency phone number. If you call them up and talk to them, they are typically glad to help. They often are willing to help you test the actual 911 part of your dial-plan, too (are you *SURE* you haven't screwed that up? The only way to find out is to test this - WITH THE DISPATCH CENTER'S COOPERATION). (this isn't a bad thing to do even if you are using a land line with supposedly the right address - all computer databases are not 100% accurate...) -- Joel _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
