Good question. I know they are doing something because we won't be accepting the system until I can call 911 and theyhave the right info. I assume it's to their center and from their to our local 911 office.

Well here's the deal, they will also route our data traffic so we willbe eventually switching off our current T-1. We are also getting two T-1's for some redundancy since I'm a little nervous. All of our remoteemployees will be getting Cisco phones and will of course just use their local broadband connection (this is where we expect significant savings) though they also offer a service for home users (ISDN or T-1). Of course the home user experience won't always be perfect but many folks have gotten good connections via Vonage, Skype, etc. They remote users will now be truely connected and managed by us where as they haven't been in the past.
