Is there an option to use Skype to connect to the calls? (am I reading that correctly?) I would use the LinPhone client on my Macbook, but I cannot figure out why it fails to connect - I'm technical enough that pointers to troubleshooting information or a 'known good' config would be enough for me to figure it out. So I revert to POTS... thanks andrew. *Andrew Hughes *CISM CISSP Independent Consultant *In Turn Information Management Consulting* o +1 650.209.7542 m +1 250.888.9474 1249 Palmer Road, Victoria, BC V8P 2H8 AndrewHughes3000@gmail.com ca.linkedin.com/pub/andrew-hughes/a/58/682/ *Identity Management | IT Governance | Information Security * On Sun, Oct 22, 2017 at 7:37 AM, Manu Sporny <msporny@digitalbazaar.com> wrote: > On 10/21/2017 07:25 PM, Christopher Allan Webber wrote: > > You won't have a way for people to dial in via traditional phone > > lines though. > > This is why just about every other VoIP only solution has failed at > scale at W3C.
