Hi Matthew

I will be out of here in January, but here's my observations.
- My cell phone (T-mobile) does not work in the FogLab, so a land line 
helps. I don't know how others' cell phones work there. Skype works, 
while on computer.
- As far as I know, phone calls to trailer phone are rare, but they 
happen sometimes. I guess most of them could be replaced with cell phone 
calls or emails.
