Heh! I was in an office with an IP-connected deskphone that had an
Ethernet port. My laptop refused to work with that IP port, but
worked just fine if I unplugged the IP-connected deskphone and plugged
my laptop in instead. Which of course meant that the deskphone was
not usable. So I had IRC connectivity, but had to use my cellphone.

what their thoughts are on IRC meetings?
Thanx, Paul
