IP relay will not relay emergency calls.

very very very untrue. ip relay will relay a 911 call. you must provide a city and state and dept u are attempting to reach. hence in the original post that the opr has to call for a supervisor and the sup must sit with the opr until the call is completed. we have to do all kinds of "emergency" calls. we have had to call in fake bomb threats plenty of times because stupid assholes think its a big joke to use the service to make a prank phone call since its completely anonymous.
so yea, ip relay and tty users can dial emergency service.
