How to organize a software phone conference

Scheduling it (from a local BNL phone only):

• Dial 0 to call operator. Request x8261 (or x6261) for a specific date&time.
  You can schedule up to a month or two at a time.
• Send an email to pegvon@bnl.gov, confirming your reservation.

Initiating it (requires full-functionality phone):

• Dial 9-011-48-12-633-3366
  If your phone is not fully functional you will get a siren-like busy
  signal before you finish dialing
• Ask for Barbara Wosiek
  The Krakow group uses her office for this whether Barbara is there or not.
• After she picks up, hit FLASH (hold)
• Dial 9-1-630-968-7770 (Don)
• After he picks up, FLASH*4 (3 keys), FLASH
• Any others (dial them, FLASH*4, FLASH)
• Dial 8261
• Hit FLASH * 4

Failure modes (rare):

• If someone fails to answer, just hit FLASH*4 to rejoin all parties so far, then
  dial the next number.
• If you get an answering machine, give the person a little
  while to pick up anyway. If you get trapped, hit the CNCT button to drop
  the current call and rejoin the conference.
• If a male non-English speaker answers for Krakow, just patiently repeat
  Barbara Wosiek as needed and/or get a Polish speaker (Andrzej, Adam...)
