Subject: RE: [chairs] OASIS IRC, and phone bridges
The XRI and XDI TCs also frequently used www.freeconference.com as our bridge. It's received some press recently as a popular alternative to paid, reservation-based services. Up to 25 participants can conference for up to 3 hours with no reservation and at no cost (though a toll call). They have an upgrade to paid service for reservation-based calls, toll-free numbers, or webconferencing. =Drummond -----Original Message----- From: John M.
