let's try for a Sunday call?

[Schulman, Lori]

I guess I am still in the dark ages.  I was hoping to just call in somewhere from a standard phone.  Our organization has a conferencing system but I am not sure how much it would cost our department to host a call.  I could look into that if people want a more traditional way to call-in.

Rits runs a voip service for its member organizations, interfaced to the
public phone net. It is based on an Asterisk system and can be used with
any SIP client (Ekiga, for example). All open source. Calls between SIP
clients cost nothing. If works quite well from anywhere if you have a
good connection to the net, as I have tested in my travels. I am not
sure if we can open it up to other groups. I will chek this with my peers.
