Hi Matthew,<br>I agree with Ismo. The foglab phone is important- my cellphone doesn't work there either (AT&T). Skype is great for outgoing calls, but its good to have a regular number that we can be contacted on. <br>
Furthermore, there are server machines in the foglab that sometimes need manual rebooting. A quick call to the lab has saved me walking over there on many occasions. <br>I have also used the trailer phone frequently, but if one must go, I feel the foglab phone is more essential.<br>
<br>thanks<br>-John<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2009/10/25 Ismo Rakkolainen <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:ismo.rakkolainen@tut.fi">ismo.rakkolainen@tut.fi</a>></span><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

Hi Matthew<br>
<br>
I will be out of here in January, but here's my observations. <br>
- 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. <br>
- 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. <br>
