I would agree on that, my voip setup at my house took several faxes back an=
d forth to the provider to get it working right. Then it took a week for t=

test calls.

With one provider in Canada at least, the E911 address to phone number
registration is a large bureaucratic manual process, likely involving
fax machines.
Meanwhile, the ILEC presumably has an address in a database for the
loop...
So, I wonder about more direct access to PSAPs by CLEC, anywhere from
dark fibre to database API?
