Re: OT?:VOIP/Skype in Southern Illinois

[Stephen Reindl <sreindl@apci.net>]

As long as you have a cell phone that is hooked up with enhanced 911 
calling you should be OK. The big drawback right now with the Voip stuff 
(lawsuit type drawbacks) is the total inability of the service to use 
any type of 911 calling. This is a problem caused by both ends, but the 
LEC isn't going to give away something that they have spent considerable 
time and money on, to a competitor.

So basically, if you have some way of calling 911, skype is supposed to 
be good.

Just my opinion. Your mileage may vary.
