[Hidden-tech] Experience with OOMA?

[Annamarie Pluhar]

Thank you everyone for your comments. Reading them through I felt that 
this "solution" of mine was going to be more trouble than it is worth - 
since it's a temporary fix for a 15 day problem and seemed shaky. We're 
going back to POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service, which is the actual 
acronym the telecoms use) with the nurses going to tell him he has a 
telephone call.

If he were a full-time resident we'd put in permanent POTS for him.

Thanks again
Annamarie
