When I was trying out a leading VoIP alternative for my house landline a while back, I was curious how 911 would be handled. I was told to call your local police departments non emergency number, and ask them if they would allow you to place a test 911 call. I think basically you would coordinate a time to do so and provide the inbound # you would be calling from so they can verify what shows up on their caller id system, etc. Not sure if every locale would allow this and is likely dependent how well staff'd their response center is.
But mwalt's inquiry is a fairly legit question, with potential real life consequences for those of us in the USA that have access to 911 in the event one really needs it...
