[BC] Las Vegas Remote

[ACN]

Mark, this is valuable info.  Thanks for sharing.

I am curious.  What sort of a remote did you do from LV?

At the new Wynn Hotel you had a direct line, no need to dial 9 for an 
outside line?    Was this standard in the room or something you arranged 
with the hotel?

At the Stardust, did they patch into your room a direct analog line for you? 
Any additional charge?

Did any of the hotels say they had an ISDN line available?

What equipment were you using?   TieLine or Vector or Telos?

Thanks,

Tom
