I see no other way of doing this reliably than to put some kind of 
GPS device into the VoIP unit.

While I agree that GPS is the likely answer, I wasn't expecting the 
ability to work inside computer rooms and basements.

It doesn't need to work in basements, etc. It only needs to keep
a record of the last location it was at when the signal faded
away. The emergency service vehicles probably can't get any closer
than that anyway.
