[Comswg] OpenSFS meeting at LUG

[Shay Seager]

ok - the $200 phone line price stays the same but then we would only have to pay for the device/technician for one day.  Which unit do you want to use?  Do we want it to be interactive or just so that those calling in can hear the conversation?
Thanks!
