You are right, but things change so
we should watch this space.

What I was thinking, depending on how
many would plan to call, was:

1) Use Skype conferencing---if calling
audience is limited

OR

2) Use my Skype account to call my conference
call number (SkypeOut) and distribute that number to the interested participants.
 I can handle unlimited (well maybe too strong of a word :) but I
can handle many callers and it has a free 866 number, at least for those
in the US and a worldwide toll number

Open to other suggestions, assuming
we have a > 4 audience on the phone.  I may also have to check
with the conference organizers to make sure I would not be violating any
prior agreement or rules for the conference...

Take care,
