Curious info: While working at a company in Colorado(no names), the DMS-100 switches from mostly all baby bells were updated for E-911 related info using of all protocols dialup _Kermit_ from a Tandem, now HP non-stop system. I bet all that is still used today. They have this nice huge map of the US and Canada and all the 911 calls are displayed real-time on the map.

[edit] History of DMS Switching.

Nortel's (Northern Telecom) Digital Multiplex System went first into service for Bell Canada (Bell), a partner in the development along with Bell Northern Research (BNR). The first was a DMS-10 switch in a small community Embrun just outside of Ottawa, Canada. This took place in the mid 1970's. This was followed by the first toll office DMS-200 (VO1)at 78 Oconnor, Ottawa and the first DMS-100 (VO2) went into service at 190 Iona St. Ottawa in late 1979. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.70.106.105 (talk) 22:08, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
