Exactly. We definitely want people to bring in modem setups.

As long as their in the metro Phoenix calling area the setup from SCC will
work from their home as 10 digit calling works everywhere, even within an
area code.

We need to make sure we have info about winmodems available for people to
look at prior to the InstallFest. Should we ask that people register? I'd
rather just do a 'hold it and they will come' type of event, but that leaves
a lot of open ends.

I think I have some spare modems that I could bring such that we can show
people things work even if their particular modem doesn't work. 56k external
modems are pretty cheap, right?
