Hey Group; As a HAM radio operator we also have the same problem using our phone patches which are remote repeaters in the USA. That is because the remote 911 dialer calls from a site which is not related to a true street address of the calling station.
I would suspect this same problem would happen to a IP phone unless the dailer has a set of databases with the previously know address and you are at a fixed location. <Snip> Yeah, it's also the problem w/ most older cell ( mobiles to Europeans )

I'm kinda conflicted about that.. but, then I wouldn't buy "OnStar" either if I had to have a GM auto.. You are actually tracked by people keeping records who can be compelled to turn them over to ... lawyers, police ( maybe not always a bad thing ) , govt officials, etc. Guess if we continue this thread we should move it over to the OT list before the rest of the group begins bitching about us again... <VBG> -- j
