[kwlug-disc] OT: Dumb VoIP questions

[Raul Suarez]

I'm with tigers and no issues with voip.Ms

If you have a POTS you don't need to sign for e911  unless you want to use your voip line for emergency calls.

E911 works differently than 911. 911 goes to a local dispatcher. E911 goes to a central that has the address associated with the voip line.
