Hi all,

As we work through the evaluation process, another issue has come up.  On 
Polaris, we use a separate telephone server with a built in telephony card to 
make patron phone calls for holds and first overdue notices, though we are 
considering discontinuing that service.  Currently, our text and email 
notifications are 10 times the number of phone calls. In that vein, I have a 
few questions of the community.


1.        How does Evergreen handle such calls. Does it support a telephone 
server set up? Will it work if we employ a hosted service?

2.       How do Evergreen libraries handle this?  Assuming it does support a 
server, is it more common to use a server setup or a subscription service, if 
they exist.

3.       Have any of you considered or actually terminated phone calling?  What 
was your experience?

Thanks in advance for any answers.
