[TriLUG] asterisk meeting last saturday

[Dave Sorenson]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Ma Bell have to leave 911 up on a
disconnected line by law? I moved into my apartment and there was a dial
tone, when I asked about it Bellsouth told me that story. 

What's to stop you from killing your POTS line, letting it revert back to
the default 911, get cable for IP connectivity and voip?
