[BC] Las Vegas Remote

[Mark Borchert]

Our Programming staff set up these remotes and didn't consult with me until
a few days before the event. When I asked what they had lined up they said
that they had arranged dedicated fax lines in small meeting rooms. Of course
what they wound up with was analog lines in their rooms.

Next time engineering lines everything thing up and goes along to chaperone!

Thanks for the input.
Mark

Mark:

For the next time you can get a business customer service person to work 
with you personally and have installed (for a price) exactly what you 
need. In this day and age, depending on PBX phones is risky in the first 
place.  We go to hotels all over the country and have never had problems 
getting everything necessary up to and including T1 circuits. It does 
take advance planning and often an advanced survey trip to get what you 
really want - anywhere.
