Can anyone suggest a quick alternative to skype conference calling? Today is the one day I actually had an important use for this and it goes down... A phone line could work, but is not ideal due to distance. Thanks. UPDATE: Skype just signed me in. Anyone else have this happen? UPDATE2: Back down again after only a few minutes. Hopefully they're close to a fix.
