[UCIMC-Tech] IMC Telephone system in the basement

[Chris Ritzo]

Phil,
Thanks for the reply. What ya'll are doing at The Bike Project seems like it
might work for other groups too. I think Books to Prisoners used to have a
split of the current IMC line and when we went to Comcast voice, that
stopped working. I'd like to set up somethign more robust in the future, but
until then your solution seems to be working

Thanks,
Chris
