************************** Moderator's Note *************************
*
* I publish posts about 911 outages for two reasons:
*
* 1. I used to be in charge of the E911 network in New England, and I
* still feel a responsibility to publicize failures.
*
* 2. There are serious weaknesses in the E911 system's security, and I
* have not seen or heard of any effort to reduce or eliminate them.

Hi Bill,
I've enjoyed your newsletter for some time and usually don't comment
but thought this might interest you regarding 911. First off, your
Grayson County story hit home as it's close to us and not the first
time the 911 district(s) in this area has had trouble. Second, and
more interesting, We have been awarded two patents on a technology
that identifies 911 callers, including the ones who do NOT get through
due to technology failures or network conditions. I think you'll find
it interesting: [URL redacted - mod]
Let me know if you would like more details, and keep up the good work.
