Going from low tech to high: * Simply dial-in to a Fedora Talk conference room using a cell phone's speakerphone. A little harder to hear usually, but requires zero futzing around with tech. * I can probably provide a desk-type VoIP handset for John McDonough to bring along. It's not too big to travel; I know many people that do so regularly (with more than one for that matter). Getting these phones to work is usually simple as long as you can get SIP & RTP traffic back and forth. * Use a softphone like Ekiga or Empathy, with a speaker/mic type connection that will work for the room (I assume this is what you're talking about with the USB conference phone thingie?). In all these cases, no special access is required to connect to a conference room. -- Paul W.
