Listen D26, you may be lucky enough to be in an area where they are still using analog lines to the local PSAPS. In many locations around the country, the PSAPS are using ISDN lines. You cannot access these ISDN lines unless you go through the 911 system.
Now for the scary part - PSAPS that use the ISDN system route the old xxx-0911 number to their Administrative lines which do not get answered in a priority fashion!
Now personally, I don't care what you dial. Just don't be surprised that if you need 911 and dial some other number - you may not get helped.
I hope you never need it.
