In the last Telecom Digest the number for Alliance Teleconferencing was
mentioned.  Dialing 0-700-456-1000 will get you the closest Alliance site
available from where called from, but if the majority of your conferees
are from a distant city you may instead want to use the Alliance conference
bridge closer to them (to save on long distance charges.

I forget offhand (I have it around here somewhere) but calling Alliance
at their 800 number will find out what these dialups are.  They range from
0-700-456-1001 to -1004 at locations Los Angeles, Dallas, Chicago, and
White Plains NY (but not neccessarily in that order)  There are also
these same conference facilites (actually a different bridging machine
but same site) reachable at 0-700-456-200X, with the same location
selection for the last digit.  Audio/graphic capability exists at
0-700-456-3001 and -3002 (both in Chicago) although Alliance claims
that the -200X series does audio/graphics.

Another interesting number to check out is 0-700-456-150X and -250X. This
is extremely interesting as the recording answers as the service belonging
to "Bell" which if I recall correctly isnt allowed to offer conferencing
facilites (as per the breakup)  This only seems to work in Northern NJ (201)
though.  Does any one at any of the Bell Labs sites in Northern NJ know
what these numbers are for?

Also, does any one know of any other audio bridging or conferencing facilites
out there?  Whatever became of Quorum?
