In the dial up case, you could/should know the originating number, so
location can be determined from that.
In the DSL case, the ATM PVC can often be mapped back to a DSLAM port
and thus a wire pair with a known termination.
Whether the provisioning and management systems are up to the task of
providing this information quickly enough for emergency services, I
don't know.
