The pitfalls of having my email address mirror the mailing lists I'm on, I get list submissions. :-)

Hey All, 


With the recent migration to everyone working from home we are seeing a huge increase in soft phone usage. How is everyone handling location updates for 911 with soft phones? Our switch has the concept of sites and users fall within a site but can also travel across sites. An out pulsed number is bound to the site when 911 is dialed from within the site. We are looking at building individual sites for each user so they can have a dedicated unique outbound number only for 911. Does your company consider a soft phone the same as a "hard" phone with regards to 911? From the reading I have done I see no delineation between the two. Thanks, Chris
