Well, I learned a lesson about proper use of contexts
in one's extensions.conf Asterisk file!
My wife called yesterday to say the police showed up
at the door, claiming a 911 call had been received
from my address. After reassurance, they departed.
I browsed the CDR file and spotted what happened. Some
poor CNETer (you may remain anonymous) was
experimenting with ny voice dialer number and hit a
seven digit number that turned out to be the access
code for my FXO card, followed by 9-1111 (XX9-1111).
He found himself connected to our local 911 center!
Poor guy....
Needless to say, I fixed that. Need to take my wife to
dinner this weekend....
