Jamie,
If you really are interested in the 911 thing let me know as Junior Lolli is
a 911 operator and uses JAWS.

I do not know how jaws would work with a 911 interface and have no way of 
finding out what credentials you need.  I'm trying to brush up on some 
things with college and jaws as I see your point about a college degree.  I 
was just looking into home based options so as to cut down on transportation

hassles.  We have no cabs here and no stable bus system.
