    I definitely remember hearing about the Cisco iPhone. This is an article on N>that:

    The CISCO phone I have is used with a party line setup for amateur
    radio operators called "HamShack Hotline". The service is free, but you
    have to purchase, and "provision" the phone.

    I only have a couple of contacts in my HamShack Hotline address book right now. But, with the death of my Mom a week ago, I've had far more important fish to fry.

    I'm getting a bit like that, with a very close friend who's been in and out of hospital with cancer. Got some more bad news today. :(

    As for HH, I haven't used it beyond testing with some of the conference servers, but I figured it might come in handy sometime. It's setup to work alongside my other VoIP services.

    Tony,

    I'm getting a bit like that, with a very close friend who's been in and out TL>hospital with cancer. Got some more bad news today. :(

    I don't think any family has escaped that scourge. I lost an uncle to
    colon cancer...my grandmother to lung cancer...plus my Dad and his
    sister to pancreatic cancer. My wife died of a heart attack (she had a defective aortic heart valve since birth), and it was congestive heart
    failure that killed my Mom.

    Not to be macabre, but none of us is getting any younger.

    As for HH, I haven't used it beyond testing with some of the conference TL>servers, but I figured it might come in handy sometime. It's setup to work TL>alongside my other VoIP services.

    I've got to get with a fellow ham via HH on an issue I have with my
    Lenovo Laptop with Windows 10 64-bit (the BBS computer, and what was my
    late Mom's computer, have Windows 10 32-bit). It sees the wireless
    mouse, but it doesn't respond to it...depending on the thumb pad
    instead. At least it recognized the external keyboard.

    I originally had a laptop with Windows Vista Basic, that I got at a
    good deal at a regional hamfest. I was able to put Windows 7 on it, but
    it crashed when I tried to put Windows 10 on it.

    Yes, both Mum's parents died from some form of cancer. Lung cancer in the case of my grandmother, and bone cancer for my grandfather, IIRC. On Dad's side of the family, his father died from complications of heart surgery. Can't recall what his mother died from.

    True, though I should have a fair few years left. :)

    Ahh, OK. well HH is ideal for those international calls between hams. I remember fury rigging things through VoIP at cheap rates, and at one stage, I did have an extension on a PBX that a friend ran in the US, but now HH can fit the bill for a lot of these things. :)

    I probably should upgrade this to Windows 10 sometime. It's been running Windows 7 since I bought it. Windows 10 hadn't quite been released then.

    Some Net Controls use it similar to the D-Rats application on nets, as

    Yeah, that would be a good use for the HH system, though for me, text mode allows a more full duplex operation - I'm capable of reading while actually on air, while it's harder to handle multiple voice sources.

    Daryl,
    My condolences on losing your mother.

    Just a quick note on HamShack Hotline, I have only used once or twice to
    talk to a "local" ham on his mobile phone while he traveled home to Bakersfield. I rarely talk on the phone, except for work and family. I have
    a CISCO IP PHONE 303 provisioned with three different services. HamShack Hotline is line 1, The second "line" is onethat the boss pays for as
    part of the cloud-based phone service he requested several years ago (cut
    costs from over $500 monthly to about $700 yearly). The third is another
    one through SIP.US.

    My HamShack Hotline number is 4655. Phone it up and leave a message, if you like. I've haven't been able to spend much time with any hobbies due to
    work.

    Mine is 4848. Lately, with the stormy weather (change of seasons), and because I do traffic nets in the evenings, I've had the DND (Do Not
    Disturb) activated. But, I've had to relegate my hobbies to the weekends
    and evenings, due to other things during the day. On the BBS, I'm only
    doing QWK Mail, and little else.
