Hi all,

I'm having a discussion with one of my vendors about the 911
capabilities of their SIP VoIP phone system.  The vendor says that if we
use an Enhanced 911 service that their phone system will transmit
location information to the PSAP at the time of the call in addition to
the ANI.  I was under the impression that this functionality was not
possible, hence all the problems that Vonage is having.  Can anyone help
clarify this for me?

Thanks,
Dan
