That sounds like a good idea, we'd have to coordinate times of course, and we should even tell other friends who are not on the list about the conference so then that way they'll get a feel for what this list is and how it all works, but I like that idea.

Hi all,
Now of course, we're all in this group, and we help each other through email, however, what if, all of us could get together for a vicug-l phone conference?
We could have discussions about:
1. topics that we talk about here on vicug-l
2. , training classes on how to do things on computers, cell phones, any kind of technology.
3. , stradigy sessions on what to do about problems with inaccessability and what to do.
See the info below.

Hi all,
I just checked out my old phone conference room, and it changed to a new number, but I need to host a conference with some people in the federal government to deal with government security.
So, I thought I'd give you a copy of this info, so if you need a free phone conference room, you'll be able to set one up!
The information is below!

How to Host, or Join a Free Phone Conference
section 1. For conference coordinators
If you want to host a conference:
step 1. Call 218-936-1200
step 2. If this is your first time hosting a conference, you must enter a conference code. This must be at least 6 digits.
step 3. Then, press the pound key.
step 4. You will be told what numbers you pressed, and if it’s correct, then, press the 1 key, and you’re in the conference.
step 5. You need to be there 5 minutes earlier than everyone else, to get the conference room opened.
step 6. You as the coordinator, and anyone else can do the following, while you’re in the conference:
press *0 to exit the conference, and when you do, it will say, “if you’ve hit the key to exit the conference, press 1, otherwise press 2 to return to the conference.”
press *1 to enter a private conference with others in the conference, but not the whole group.
*2 to get your caller code,
*4 to hear this help message again,
*6 to either mute or unmute your phone.
*NOTE--please get this next section to all conference attendees prior to the conference, so they can have this information. Section 2, begins on the next page below. You’ll see some blank lines below, then you’ll see the section. I did this, to start the next section at the top of a page.
section 2. For people who want to come to the conference
If you want to attend the conference:
step 1. Call 218-936-1200
step 2. You must enter a conference code. This must be at least 6 digits. This is the code that the conference coordinator gave you prior to coming to the conference.
step 3. Then, press the pound key.
step 4. You will be told what numbers you pressed, and if it’s correct, then, press the 1 key, and you’re in the conference.
step 5. You as a conference attendee, can do the following, while you’re in the conference:
press *0 to exit the conference, and when you do, it will say, “if you’ve hit the key to exit the conference, press 1, otherwise press 2 to return to the conference.”
press *1 to enter a private conference with others in the conference, but not the whole group.
*2 to get your caller code,
