As I said, we have an existing Call Manager cluster in <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place

handle calls. We are probably going to buy a Conference Connection server
as well. The question comes down to this: where should we have the
remote users VPN in to? <st1:City w:st="on">Chicago</st1:City>, or <st1:State
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">New York</st1:place></st1:State>? Where
should we place the Conference Connection server? We would like to place
it in <st1:City w:st="on">Chicago</st1:City> so that more people can use it,
but should it go in <st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">New York</st1:place></st1:State>?
Is it possible to give local numbers to remote users? We are planning on
placing a Unity server in <st1:State w:st="on">New York</st1:State> to handle
voice mail for them, but if the WAN link is down, is there a way for the <st1:State
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">New York</st1:place></st1:State> users to
receive and check voice mail?</span></font><span lang=EN-GB><o:p></o:p></span></p>
