Re: No I wouldn't buy it.

While they are forced to market this as a "second line" solution - there's a VERY simple way around the 911 issue. The primary telephone line to any residence, whether connected or not MUST be able to dial 911. So, if you really don't need any other local features (no power dialing etc) other than 911 - cancel your phone line keep a few old phones around connected to your "disconnected" phone line to dial 911 with. I would not be shocked to see an analog port on future models which will kick out 911 calls - ostensibly for hooked up lines, but on a practical basis you could certainly connect it to your "disconnected" line.
