just got roused due to echo on the admin lines ... I'm going back to bed... Admin is non-critical and dealt with differently than 911 calls.... call routing at this hour in my mind starts to hurt... but - admin calls don't go through the selective router, they're handled locally so likely have to deal with the telco business office..
it's to morning for this...
What kind of PBX?
We don't use a PBX for this - There is generally a PBX in the system - just not for the 911 calls.

Writing a Office 365 deployment script that prompts you to choose either Office 365 ProPlus 64-bit or Office 365 ProPlus 32-bit.

hey how are you guys in the usa going? seen it's very bloody cold up there.
how do you keep yourself warm on a day when it's minus 30 with windchill of minus 46?
Does the electricity shut down/crash/collapse? How do you keep going? that's real survival first type stuff.i'd much prefer the 110 degree days we've been having.
good luck people.

We are pretty chilly.

Does the electricity shut down/crash/collapse? How do you keep going? that's real survival first type stuff.Water can freeze in the pipes, but normally those are below the frost line, we hope. The north actually handles the bitter cold better than the south handles a mild one with water freezing in the lines.
Electricity works just fine in the cold. It's ice storms that pose a risk there, but that's at much higher temperatures.
It's actually not all that bad. You bundle up, you stay indoors, you avoid going places. But if you do, you warm the car up a lot first, drive slowly, run into the next building quickly. Not really that bad.

Fireplace.

Sometimes. Well, I've lived through government collapses before so it ain't no thang.

Not that cold, it'll cool the house rather than warming it.

saw a clip of chicago on the news last night, all whited out, said it's colder than siberia
when do they think it may improve? -

That's news to me. Certainly a lot of heat is lost through it, but it may depend on how your whole thing is setup, including damper, how much air you can pull from the outside, and so on. The general, traditional idea is to have a huge hearth and chimney breast so that the bricks heat up and stay warm. In fact in the late medieval homes (well, the nice ones) they'd be so large they would weigh more than the entire house, but would also keep it fairly warm. Also other designs like the rumford-style help with heat and avoiding making it colder, but in certain situations I could see how it could make things worse. I imagine a lot of modern homes in the west especially because fireplaces are meant more to be for fanciness/style rather than function it could be the case.

Yes, most modern ones at least here have essentially no mass to them and are meant to not overheat the house. So they barely do a thing and mostly just force all the heat right out the top.
