Apparently, it does not yet provide locational services and such -- so you have to be able to state your address and such for the person on the phone. There's a trial in some state (don't recall which) that has E911 rolled out to all of their emergency centers to provide the address info which apparently works quite well, but as far as I know it's not in MN yet. I'd love to be corrected, though! -- Nate Carlson <natecars at real-time.com> | Phone : (952)943-8700 http://www.real-time.com | Fax : (952)943-8500
