[UCIMC-Tech] IMC Telephone system in the basement

[Phil Graff]

Hi Chris,

Right now The Bike Project is using Google Voice to forward to volunteers'
personal phones, and we don't have an actual "phone line" wired to the
basement.  I'll ask the rest of the steering committee if we might be
interested having a phone line (or an extension of a number), but I'm
guessing that we'll probably stick with the current arrangement because it
allows us to respond to inquiries without being physically present in the
IMC.

If there's anything else we can do to help out on the project, though,
please let me know.
Thanks!
Phil
