JN}  -=> Quoting Ivy Iverson to Bobbie Beers <=-
JN}  II> We have "Enhanced 911" here... it not only tells the operator your
JN}  II> name, address and phone number, but also other information, such as
JN}  II> handicaps, medical conditions or other things which a fire/rescue
JN}  II> person/crew should know, and that information is available to the
JN}  II> dispatcher within seconds after the call comes in.
JN}  How does the dispatcher know the caller's name if they're at a pay 
one?
JN}  How does the dispatcher know the caller is handicapped or has some other
JN}  medical problem if they use a pay phone?
JN}  That's not the kinda data your local phone company is compiling.
JN}  Betcha all E911 gives the dispatcher is an address and phone number, and
JN}  the rest of that data is in the communication center's computer.  That's
JN}  the sort of information the fire companies gather when they're out of 
he
JN}  station conducting pre-fire inspections and planning.
Will you stop being a jerk.... OF COURSE it can't tell information about
a caller if they're calling from a pay phone - except for where the pay
phone is located at.... anything else would have to be TOLD to the
dispatcher....
